Abstract

Despite official policies aimed at restraining large-city growth, the urban population of the USSR is becoming increasingly concentrated in such cities. The various growth control measures instituted by the government are reviewed and the relative ineffectiveness of such policies investigated in terms of the continued preference for industrial investment in the larger urban centres. A final section attempts to isolate the Soviet-specific factors that explain such investment preferences; five categories of factors are presented in this explanatory framework.
