TRENDS AND PROSPECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF OFF-STREET TRANSPORT IN THE OUTER ZONES OF RUSSIAN MILLIONAIRE CITIES

Abstract

Off-street transport is an important factor in the successful transformation of urban outer zones. In the paper, we analyze the differences between fourteen Russian millionaire cities in terms of trends and prospects for the development of off-street transport in their outer zones. The calculation of the integral indicator revealed three groups of cities. The most favorable situation is typical for Yekaterinburg, where the development of off-street transport is envisaged in all four sectors of the outer zone, both in the master plan and in short-term and long-term industry documents. This type of transport has been developing in Yekaterinburg over the past three years. Ufa, Volgograd, Perm, Krasnodar and Omsk are in the group with the lowest value of the indicator of prospects and trends in the development of off-street transport. In Omsk, this result is combined with a low level of development of intercity railway communication, and in Perm and Krasnodar - with a very low one. In these cities (except Volgograd), there are sectors of outer zones where there is no off-street transport and its creation is not planned.
