An important element in the present process of urbanization is the formation of urban agglomerations. The fact that these urban entities still lack juridical or even statistical status deprives urban and economic planners of a valuable data base for planning purposes so that the agglomerations often evolve in undesirable, uncoordinated ways. Greater attention needs to be given to the study of the internal structure of urban entities, a field neglected by Soviet population geographers. An undesirable tendency in Soviet agglomerations is to aim at continuously built-up territory, thus converting agglomerations into traditional compact cities, instead of making provision for open spaces for use in agriculture and forestry, recreation and communications.","PeriodicalId":85574,"journal":{"name":"Soviet geography","volume":"21 1 1","pages":"30-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00385417.1980.10640320","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58950659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These towns are disproportionately located in the eastern USSR, especially in the Urals and West Siberia. Most of them are narrowly specialized coal-mining towns, especially numerous among sharply declining towns, and railroad towns. The vast majority were also small, young and on railroads, with an especially large number being on the Trans-Siberian Railroad, in particular, although a relatively high proportion suffer from being on rail-roads. Virtually none of the declining and stagnant towns of the 1959-70 period have experienced rapid growth since 1970; the majority have continued to be either declining or stagnant. Preliminary data on large cities from the 1979 census, as well as 1974 population estimates, tend to suggest that the number of declining and stagnant towns between 1970 and ...","PeriodicalId":85574,"journal":{"name":"Soviet geography","volume":"21 4 1","pages":"195-218"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00385417.1980.10640329","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58951158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
