Agglomerative and network-based structure of the populated localities: new opportunities in Southern Siberia
The paper considers possibilities to form a system of populated localities in the southern regions of East Siberia which could be alternative to that formed by the hyper-urbanization processes of the last decade. The author proves that the way how such alternative system will develop depends on the type of transport system, and offers the approach to the analysis of such dependence. The paper also considers the potential variants of how the transport system could be changed in the southern regions of East Siberia. The author concludes that the rail transport plays a key role in solving such problem, and offers an optimal scheme to build the transport system based on the rail transport technologies.
