Аннотация

The article analyzes the current trends and issues of the Russian mega-cities, and their relationships with a close and remote periphery. These cities are simultaneously concentrating a huge productive, scientific, political and cultural potential and worsening the situation of their close and remote periphery. The use of information technologies and networks accelerate the development of the mega-cities whereas their periphery gradually lags behind. The external appearance of the mega-city is changing very slowly, while a functional organization of these cities is changing permanently. The further the more the majority of the mega-cities’ population considers them as a start-up for their carrier or as a jumping-off place for an emigration. A habitat structure of the above cities is changing as well: the estates of the rich are planned to situate in the central parts of the mega-cities while the majority of the poor will be gradually resettled to the periphery of the mega-cities. The estates of the rich will have their own gardens and all other necessary facilities whereas for the rest of the mega-cities residents the parks of a common use are planned. In sum, all residents of the mega-cities are socially and spatially disconnected, and their life is under double pressure: their structural-functional organization is permanently accelerated and transformed.
