This article deals with the process of suburbanization in Russia. Its special attention is paid to two major Russian cities: Moscow and St. Petersburg. The article compares the processes occurring in the above cities with the similar ones in the American cities. This comparison provides a means of appropriate ways for improving the quality of life in Russian megalopolises. This article suggests that Soviet heritage could not afford Russian regions to copy American experience to the full extent. However, American “edge cities” are considered to be the best form of suburbanization in terms of increasing the quality of life.

Qualitative Characteristics

The problem of improving qualitative characteristics of population is relevant for all regions. Its solution assumes breaking the subjects of the Russian Federation into groups, similar in the values of quality of population, and in the degree of effectiveness of the factors affecting them. The main factor considered in the article is quality of life in terms of all its dimensions. The previous correlation analysis of the indicators of quality of life and quality of population made it possible to substantiate the choice of system of indicators for grouping Russian regions with the purpose of elaborating a strategy for improvement of the qualitative characteristics of population. There is revealed a strong impact of the economic indicators of quality of life on the quality of population: average monetary per capita income, poverty rate and unemployment rate. Along with the obvious connection between these indicators, their ratio in different Russian regions is various. Among all indicators of the quality of population, 4 indicators were selected for analysis: natural increase of population, life expectancy, education level, number of alcoholics and drug addicts. Cluster analysis on the set of seven above mentioned indicators resulted in development of regions' typology consisting of seven groups. Each cluster received informative interpretation. The obtained typology was compared with the typology of regions by indicators of quality of population and the typology by indicators of quality of life. Their common features and differences were identified. Inclusion in consideration of territorial factor, which was presented in the article by the share of urban population in regions, did not confirm the hypothesis of its significant impact on the quality of population. On the basis of all the obtained results and their substantive analysis the authors propose a typology of regions which can be used for development of strategies for improvement of the qualitative characteristics of population with the account of the specifics of each regional cluster.

Development Concept

The concept of inclusive development is gaining momentum in both the academic and policy-making arenas. There are a plethora of definitions and several indicators with which to monitor its progress at the national level. However, the regional level has been relatively overlooked in the analyses carried out by academics. This is particularly serious for large countries marked by deep regional disparities. The aim of this paper is to address this gap by proposing and applying a framework to assess inclusive development at the regional level. Drawing on a critical analysis of the concept and existing indexes, the paper proposes an index of Regional Inclusive Development and applies it to the regions of the Russian Federation. Moreover, it compares the suggested index with established indicators of regional socio-economic development, namely quality of life and gross product. The results support the idea that at the regional level, there is a significant correlation and interdependence between all dimensions of the sustainable development concept—environment, the economy, and society—and that inclusiveness should not be ignored or undervalued in the analysis of development processes. Furthermore, the results show significant differences in the positioning of the regions in terms of the inclusive development rankings as compared to their positions in the quality of life and gross product rankings. The results also reveal small interregional differences among Russian regions, which are unexpected given the size of the country.

Housing conditions and the possibility to improve them are one of the main indicators of the standard of living of the country’s population. State methods of regulation in this sphere must contribute to minimize the risks of citizens and ensure their safe investment in the purchase of housing under construction. For these purposes the mechanism of project financing — the system of financing the construction of apartment buildings through escrow accounts was developed and introduced.The subject of the article is an analysis of the introduction of escrow accounts in relation to Russian regions. The statistics presented by the financial development institution in the housing sector Dom.rf allows to detect a positive dynamics of citizens’ trust in development companies, which finally is reflected in a significant improvement of the quality of life of Russians. Thus, with the growth of citizens’ trust in contractors — developers of apartment buildings, their interest in buying better quality housing grows. Besides, the mechanisms of project financing weed out unfair builders, leaving only reliable developers on the market, which raises the qualitative characteristics of new projects and gives extra stability to the market.

The article shows the relevance of implementing a new intersectoral system of indicators necessary for monitoring progress in achieving the target indicators at the Federal and regional levels by 2030 to ensure the achievement of the country's national development goals to strengthen the health potential and well-being of the population, which is the most important basis for demographic development and growth of life expectancy (LE). It is emphasized that the lack of correlation between indicators of life expectancy in Russian regions and the rates of gross regional products (GRP) reflects the inconsistency of social, economic and health policies, when the achievement of economic growth is actually poorly focused on improving the standards and quality of life of the population. The article highlights the prospects for including integrative assessments of differences in the state of sanitary and epidemiological well-being and quality of life of the population of Russian regions, the level of deficit of the financial support for territorial state programs of providing free medical care to citizens, economic damage associated with the burden of diseases, in the system of effective intersectoral strategies and evaluating their effectiveness in achieving target monitoring indicators. It is noted that implementation of such integrated strategies must be focused on overcoming regional disparities in population health, when the place of birth and life for most residents of the regions actually determine the risks and prospects of survival, reaching the most favorable levels of life expectancy typical of the most successful and prosperous regions of Russia.
