Abstract

The changes in the number, functions, population and coherence of settlements that have been taking place for more than 25 years are considered as a process on which the wholeness, political and social stability of the state depend. The essence and results of the Soviet policy of creating the unified settlement system as well as problems arising in connection with new realities are shown. The prospects of cities domination, growth in the number of metropolitan areas, existence of traditional rural settlements are assessed.
