Suburbanization of Moscow's Urban Region
This chapter discusses the main characteristics of Moscow's region development. Today Moscow's suburbs essentially cover the entire territory of Moscow Oblast. This growth has made the Oblast a strong competitor to the capital city in economic and political terms. The outer periphery, which includes four zones of Moscow Oblast, is the focus of the chapter, as it is the key domain of Moscow's suburban development. It explains the subdivision of Moscow's outer periphery into concentric rings. The chapter uses a classification of the metropolitan territory into four radial sectors (north, south, east, and west) as a way of highlighting certain spatial tendencies of Moscow's metropolitan structure. The Development of Moscow's Periphery during the Soviet Period is further discussed. The patterns of new suburban development reveal that the city of Moscow still exerts a strong gravitational force, most of the housing construction being concentrated in the inner suburban rings.
