Cities of the Moscow region by population

The problem of resettlement of people in the Moscow region is constantly discussed. It is difficult to say exactly which city is more difficult, because the population in them is approximately the same. Balashikha, for example, is quite well suited for living - you can hardly feel cramped here. And in a city like Khimki, people have long begun to feel the consequences of population growth. Measures to mitigate the situation are being taken and developed continuously. There is an opinion that soon the ill-fated renovation that is being carried out in Moscow will reach the Moscow region. The measures taken now do not always bear fruit or simply leave much to be desired.

Balashikha is the largest city in the Moscow region

Until Balashikha became a millionaire. But he strives diligently for this. Proof of this is the annual population growth of more than 10 thousand people. The main difficulty was the influx of illegal migrants; 2021 turned out to be especially “rich” in migrant workers. They don’t just come to work, but together save for housing and purchase it in order to organize a permanent place of residence. Now Balashikha has acquired a large commune of immigrants from Central Asia. Visitors from Ukraine and Belarus, according to locals, create much fewer problems.

There are several microdistricts in Balashikha, and construction of new houses is regularly organized. This helps settlement, although it does not solve the problem of traffic jams in a densely populated city.

Balashikha is connected to Moscow by railways and roads. The city's passenger traffic is huge. The traffic jams at the entrance and exit are incredibly long and very long. There are also difficulties with minibuses, which run irregularly, causing people to crowd into the cabin. Locals themselves notice that sometimes walking is much faster than using a car. The dense population has led to a shortage of places in kindergartens, not to mention long queues to see doctors.

Zheleznodorozhny city

The city of Zheleznodorozhny (Moscow region) is part of the city of Balashikha, but until 2015 it functioned as an independent municipal entity. It is located 10 km east of the Moscow Ring Road on the Moscow - Nizhny Novgorod railway line. The area of ​​the city is 2408 hectares. Population – 151985 people. It tends to grow, which has been especially significant since the mid-2000s of this century. There are 8 districts in this municipality.

Industry plays a leading role in the economy. Ceramics and facing materials are produced here.

Zheleznodorozhny has an unfavorable transport situation. Traffic jams, car collisions and collisions with pedestrians are common occurrences here. This is due to the insufficient development of the road network. There are also no underground passages. The best option for travel is rail transport.

Podolsk has a difficult demographic situation

The population in Podolsk is highly dependent on industrial development. When the Industrial Revolution began, the number began to increase rapidly. The emergence of large enterprises led to its steady growth, but now the situation has changed. If in 1989 the number of people living in Podolsk reached 209 thousand, then after the collapse of the USSR the numbers dropped significantly. The city began to replenish only in 2007. Statistics show that the reason lies in immigrants. There is no natural increase in numbers. Estimates vary, but on average, the share of visitors is 40 thousand people.

The most common problem in Russia concerns Podolsk too. They try to repair bad roads here, because in a densely populated city they become a real scourge. People are used to traffic jams, but the main highway stops so often and for so long that many people lose their nerve. But Podolsk can boast of many free places in kindergartens. True, the residents themselves talk about falsification of statistical data. At least the majority have enough jobs. Another negative factor affecting the quality of life was the increase in real estate prices, which is also associated with the regularly growing influx of people.

Korolev - unfavorable geographical location

Korolev is a city with a difficult geographical location. The proximity to the Yaroslavskoye Highway has played an evil trick on the townspeople - densely populated and at the same time large by the standards of the Moscow region, Korolev is forced to suffer from traffic jams. It is especially difficult for the science city on Cosmonautics Day, when all residents begin to organize mass processions. There are a lot of cars, because people come here from Moscow and neighboring settlements. The presence of large higher educational institutions and companies involved in the rocket and space industry attracts many and creates some inconvenience on the roads.

The development of the city is carried out systematically. There are many good areas, so locals don't have to deal with exploding house prices like they do in the capital. The authorities solved the transport problem by expanding the Yaroslavl highway, and the presence of a large number of trains and buses running between settlements helps to increase comfort. People do not experience difficulties in providing their children with places in kindergartens or schools. Everyone lives quite comfortably.

City of Pushkino, Moscow region

It is the center of the Pushkinsky district of the Moscow region. The population of this city is 106,577 people. As in other cities in the region, it is predominantly growing, especially rapidly - since the mid-2000s. It is located 14 km from the Moscow Ring Road, and 30 km from the center of Moscow. Pushkino received city status in 1925.

The area of ​​this settlement is 6033 hectares. There are a dozen microdistricts. Pushkino is one of the centers of forest research. The All-Russian Institute of Forestry and Forestry is located here. The industry is represented by private organizations of various production orientations.

The transport system is represented by automobile and railway transport. Motorization of the population is growing rapidly. Thus, in 2010 there were 313 cars per 1,000 residents, and in 2015 there were already 420 cars. Minibuses are actively used in the city.

The most interesting object is the Pushkin Museum of Local Lore.

Khimki is a city that lives comfortably

If we exclude traffic jams and other little things, then the townspeople live quite comfortably. There are quite a lot of newcomers, they work in courtyards, on construction sites, and do other menial work. However, the development of the city is inevitable. The close proximity to Moscow makes itself felt. The population itself is considered disciplined due to the fact that many come from military families. It definitely helps to stay organized.

The transport collapse does not surprise anyone. Many people dream of giving up cars, but are in no hurry to use public transport. Khimki was not designed for a large number of cars, so now it is difficult to get from work or school from the capital.

The construction of large stadiums has further aggravated the situation. Crowds of football fans try their best to get into Khimki, creating large traffic jams. The authorities are planning to build a metro, but this will first affect new areas with prestigious new buildings. The rest will have to wait.

To summarize, we can conclude that almost all large cities of the Moscow region suffer rather from:

• poor infrastructure;
• ill-conceived planning;
• a large number of cars.

However, there are no practical solutions to these issues yet, since the first priority is the pursuit of regional budgets, which are allocated to active development.

Transport

The transport system is moderately developed. There is a network of roads and railways, river and air transport is developed. There are 15 federal highways and 7 stations in the region. The Volga-Moscow Canal provides water communication with the Caspian, Black, Azov, White and Baltic seas. However, the development of transport lags behind the region's needs for transport support. The technical condition of roads often does not meet accepted standards and is in need of repair. There is also congestion on the highways.

Khimki – 255 thousand people.

Founded: 1850

Khimki is a large city located on the banks of the Moscow Canal, 18 km. from the capital. The city has a temperate continental climate, winters are long and cold, and summers are short and not hot.

Interestingly, the city got its name from the Khimka River - it has its source in the Khamkinsky Forest and flows into the Moscow River. The city is growing, high-rise residential buildings appear every year. As for the population, the people here are wonderful, most of them previously worked in factories, and even a simple mechanic knows what responsibility is.

I would like to highlight that not so long ago, grounds with real exercise equipment and tables for playing tennis appeared in the city - both in “useless” spots and among green squares.

Mytishchi – 223 thousand people.

Founded: 1460

In Mytishchi , electronic services are well developed and are available to everyone. There are several MFC centers in the city. Mytishchi is located 19 km. from Moscow, despite the fact that it is small in area, the city has gained fame as one of the largest cultural centers in the Moscow region. And this is not surprising - it arose in 1460 (at that time Mytishchi was a village).

The ecology of the city, one can say, without a grain of exaggeration, is one of the healthiest among the cities of the Moscow region, even despite the number of factories. This is easily explained by the fact that the city's transport system does not allow vehicles to enter the center, thereby maintaining a favorable climate. Among the residents’ favorite places for leisure is “Yauza” - the Palace of Culture.

Krasnogorsk – 172 thousand people.

Founded: 1932

Krasnogorsk is a fairly young but developed city. Over the course of many decades, the city's population has been steadily increasing - visitors are pleased with the developed infrastructure and convenient location relative to Moscow.

It is only 1 km away from the Moscow Ring Road. In the vicinity of Krasnogorsk there are deciduous and coniferous forests - it would seem that this should have a beneficial effect on the ecology of the city, but the air is very polluted.

In addition, there is also an increased level of radiation here. But there is also a good side - in Krasnogorsk there is Crocus Expo (the largest exhibition (concert hall), which is undoubtedly a huge plus for this region.

Korolev – 225 thousand people.

Date of foundation: 1938

Despite the fact that Korolev is small, it is called the space capital of Russia, a science city. Korolev is the center of the rocket and space industry. There is excellent ecology here and there is the Losiny Ostrov park (reserve).

The city began to be called Korolev in 1996, before that it was called Kaliningrad. This beautiful city, surrounded by forests, is home to many scientists and highly qualified specialists.

In warm weather, there are quaint green sculptures here, and you can enjoy a walk in the quiet courtyards and parks. There is a place to study and work here - for many this is a priority.

Distribution by gender and age

The 2010 population census showed an excess of the female population over the male population. Thus, there are 3 million 824 thousand women in the Moscow region, and 3 million 270 thousand men. However, among children and youth (0 – 24 years old) there are more men than women. The predominance of the female population is more pronounced in cities than in rural areas.

The average age of residents of the region is 40.3 years, which is slightly higher than in the country as a whole (39 years). Families with few children and childless predominate.

Podolsk – 304 thousand people.

Founded: 1627

Located on the Pakhra River, the city of Podolsk is quite developed in all directions. The transport system is convenient, the city is clean, and culturally, sports are favored.

Getting to Moscow from Podolsk is very easy. There are 10 modern hotels here, so if you are planning to come to stay in Podolsk, you will have somewhere to stay; there are also a sufficient number of restaurants and cafes open in the city, including world-famous establishments. The city has everything you need for a comfortable life: schools, universities, hospitals, etc.

Lyubertsy – 207 thousand people.

Founded: 1623

The city, located in the Moscow region, is known for the events that affected it during its development. Each event played an important role on the path to the present.

Lyubertsy is located next to Moscow and its borders, one might say, are transparent. There are many sights and interesting sculptures here - you can always find pleasant places for walks in the city.

Many from the city go to work in Moscow, and most of the population works at the Torgmash enterprise (the company supplies commercial equipment).

Interestingly, an asteroid (216439) was named in honor of the city of Lyubertsy. In 2011, the British Council announced that a copy of the Lyubertsy monument to Yuri Gagarin would be installed in central London to mark the 50th anniversary of the first manned space flight.

Kolomna – 141 thousand people.

Founded: 1177

Kolomna is a very green city, there are many parks and squares. Recognized as one of the most ancient cities in the Moscow region, Kolomna was founded after the collapse of Kievan Rus. The Kremlin is the main attraction of Kolomna.

Since the city has its own factories, according to residents, it’s not difficult to find something you like (or at least a good job). Three rivers flow through Kolomna: Oka, Moskva and Kolomenka.

Many see the benefits of a rich cultural environment - it brings together creative people: artists, musicians, etc. There are many pleasant places to hang out: bars, cafes, restaurants, etc. Fans of extreme sports can rejoice - in the city there is a club “Aerograd”, where you can go skydiving.
