Correlation between residential area, service facilities, research and production zone of Russian science cities

Abstract

Purpose: Identification of the correlation between service facilities, research and production zone of Russian science cities.Research findings: Based on the difference in the urban development, calculations include individual objects, taking into account the number of floors, rather than functional zones. The cities of Protvino, Pushchino, Chernogolovka, Fryazino, Troitsk and Koltsovo are analyzed; the population can be compared with the estimated number of new scientific towns. Despite a significant difference in the size of urban areas and the development of the research and production base, these science cities have a close ratio of housing, service facilities and research and production areas, i.e., 60, 10 and 30 %, respectively. The basic layout of science campuses does not change, while economic, demographic and scientific development is observed.Practical implication: The detected correlation can be called rational and used at the initial stage of planning a new science city.
