MILLIONAIRE CITY ATTRACTIVENESS FOR LIVING: CASE OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Abstract
The aim of the paper is to assess the millionaire cities attractiveness for residents in the Russian Federation in the period from 2011 to 2015. Ranking is made using 20 indices combined in five groups. As a result, authors find out that the best positions among millionaire cities in their attractiveness for living are taken by Ekaterinburg, Novosibirsk and Chelyabinsk. They are characterized by a high standard of living, the state of the economy, and the provision of social infrastructure. A little lower attractiveness is shown by Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan and Krasnoyarsk. In the middle of ranking are cities Perm, Omsk, Volgograd and Samara, showing the minimal difference between each other in the integral index. Rostov-on-Don, Ufa and Voronezh are cities-outsiders in context of their attractiveness for living.
