American scientists have calculated that more than 40% of deaths are due to pollution of the atmosphere, soil and water of the planet. At the same time, toxic human waste kills up to 3 million people annually. As a result of human exposure to atmospheric pollution, diseases such as cancer, congenital pathologies, hypertension, or immune system disorders can occur in humans.

Often large cities are covered with thick fog - smog. The composition of this fog includes waste smoke, gas, harmful aerosols. Smog adversely affects the health of people suffering from cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and can cause exacerbation of diseases and even death. Smog is very harmful for children and pregnant women. Therefore, it is very important to know the ecological situation in a given area or city to take some measures to improve their ecology.

What determines the ecology of cities

When considering the environmental situation in Russian cities, three main reasons for the appearance of pollution in the atmosphere of cities can be noted:

• industrial waste;
• road transport emissions;
• natural pollution factors.

Industrial waste in the atmosphere is associated with the operation of enterprises and power plants. In many large cities there are industrial complexes that are the culprits of environmental pollution.

How to improve the ecology of cities

In order to reduce industrial emissions, it is necessary to modernize old factories to reduce waste. In the best case, such an enterprise should be closed and a new one built. But this requires additional capital investment. Naturally, the plant owner does not want to spend extra money on installing some new filters or upgrading the process. It is possible to force him to do such work only by legislative means, imposing heavy fines on the enterprise polluting the atmosphere.

To improve the environmental situation in cities with heavy traffic, it is necessary to pay more attention to the quality of the fuel used by cars, keep old cars out of the road, build roads and interchanges.

When designing new cities and settlements, architects should pay more attention to air circulation on the streets and in the yards of houses. New buildings should be located on hills, where they are well blown by air currents.

• The ecology of most large Russian cities is at a critical point. This is especially true for large industrial cities and metropolitan areas, in which a huge number of cars move.
• World rating agencies confirm the conclusions about the crisis in the environment in our cities, including a number of Russian cities in the top ten most polluted cities in the world.
• To improve the ecology of large cities, it is necessary to take measures, including the modernization of obsolete industrial plants, cleaning up pollution and measures to improve issues related to the operation of cars.

Cleanliness is the key to health. We all heard this phrase in childhood and diligently washed our hands with soap. Then we grew up and began to teach our children to live in cleanliness and order. And what about our cities? Why do we treat them so carelessly and litter the environment without even thinking about the consequences? As it turned out, the most in the world is not so easy to choose. Unfortunately, the consciousness and level of development of human civilization have not yet reached the limit beyond which total concern for the preservation of the environment begins.

Environmental pollution: the scourge of the 21st century

A couple of centuries ago, people did not think about environmental pollution. Almost the entire population of the world lived in rural areas, and life in cities was the lot of the few who wanted to be in the center of events and world news. But literally in a hundred years, everything has changed in the most radical way - technological progress has led to the fact that more than seventy percent of the inhabitants of the planet have chosen cities as their habitat.

This has led to an increase in pressure on these territories. What do we associate a big city with? Of course, with smoking chimneys of factories, dirt on the streets, unpleasant odors and eternal dullness. Bad picture, isn't it? But that's how most of us live. Although in recent years, the trend towards caring for the environment is beginning to gain momentum and is gradually capturing many cities around the world. Unfortunately, it is still too early to talk about the mass nature of this phenomenon. But if you look at the list of the cleanest cities in the world, you will see that it is still possible to live clean. The population of such cities says that it is necessary to start the changes with yourself.

City classification

First of all, all the cities of the world can be divided into four categories:

• Group 1 - the city administration is doing everything to stabilize the environment, and forms a responsible attitude towards the environment among citizens.
• Group 2 - the ecological situation in these cities is extremely difficult, but the administration is coming to an understanding of the need to take urgent measures to save the city's ecology.
• Group 3 - these cities do not have a polluting industry, so the population and sewage treatment plants contribute to the deterioration of the environmental situation.
• Group 4 - the most polluted cities that do not have budgetary funds for the creation of environmentally oriented programs.

Of course, it is difficult to identify which is the most in the world among such settlements of different levels of pollution, but for this there are world standards for the environmental situation of cities.

Clean City: Evaluation Criteria

To select the cleanest city in the world, it is necessary first of all to draw up a list of evaluation criteria, according to which the study will be conducted. What is included in the concept of a clean city? By what points is it necessary to evaluate the cleanliness of cities, because they all have different levels of pollution and industrial potential?

Most often, six characteristics are involved in the assessment of the state of the environment of a settlement, which allows choosing the most environmentally friendly cities in the world. We now list them:

• the number of green zones in proportion to the area of ​​the city;
• availability of a program for the processing of household waste and the percentage of this processing to the total amount of city waste;
• air quality (determined by samples);
• water quality (also determined by samples);
• the percentage of budget funds allocated for the implementation of environmental programs;
• participation of citizens in maintaining the cleanliness of the city.

According to all these characteristics, we are ready to bring to your attention the top cleanest cities in the world.

Top 5 tourist centers

Probably, every tourist would like to see the cleanest city in the world and spend a vacation in it. Therefore, we decided to compile a list of the most environmentally friendly and popular tourist cities:

1. Singapore.

The cleanliness of this city delights many tourists. The most severe fines for smoking in public places or a candy wrapper thrown on the pavement have been introduced here. The average fine is approximately $500. This system turned out to be very effective; over time, the townspeople learned not to litter and actively maintain the cleanliness of their beloved city.

The capital of Austria, even at first glance, looks very clean and well-groomed. The population of the city is proud of its historical heritage and tries to preserve the unique city for their descendants.

3. Dresden.

This amazing city is not only a cultural but also an industrial center. But there are just legends about its cleanliness, German pedantry made the city literally perfect. Here it is impossible to find garbage on the streets or see the smoke from the factory chimneys.

4. Stockholm.

Not surprisingly, the Swedish city made it to the list of "The Cleanest City in the World". The government of the country pays special attention to ecology and care for the environment, so Stockholm appears to tourists in a surprisingly clean form. In addition, light pollution is minimized in this city.

5. Abu Dhabi.

The Emir of the city spends a lot of money on keeping the streets clean and implementing environmental programs. The most professional specialists in the field of environmental protection work here.

Of course, it is sad that not a single Russian city was included in this list. Russia still cannot boast of a responsible attitude to the environment.

World Health Organization: ranking of the cleanest cities

WHO annually compiles its lists of environmentally friendly capitals of the world. Most often, European cities fall into the top five. The ranking compiled in 2016 is as follows:

1. Sweden - Stockholm.
2. Scotland - Edinburgh.
3. Canada - Ottawa.
4. Australia - Canberra.
5. Wellington - New Zealand.

It is worth noting that Stockholm quite often falls into this list, occupying various positions in it.

Top 10 cleanest cities in the world: rating of alternative public organizations

Not only recognized organizations are engaged in assessing the cleanliness and pollution of the cities of the world, but also private organizations. Public interest in environmental protection is increasing every year, so alternative ratings appear:

1. Calgary (Canada).

This small town is located in a valley, two rivers pass through the city. Local residents claim that the water from these rivers can be drunk without harm to health.

2. Adelaide (Australia).

Here, waste processing is organized at a high level, more than eighty percent of the garbage is processed by special installations. The city has a large number of parks and squares.

3. Honolulu (Hawaii).

It is called the pearl of the tropics, where thousands of tourists from all over the world come with pleasure.

4. Minneapolis (USA).

Despite the fact that the population of the city has already exceeded three million people, it remains remarkably clean. This is facilitated by the high consciousness of residents and environmental programs.

5. Kobe (Japan).

Advanced Japanese technologies aimed at preserving the environment help make the country's cities the cleanest.

6. Copenhagen (Denmark).

7. Wellington (New Zealand).

This city managed to get a high score in almost all indicators.

8. Helsinki (Finland).

This city is the heart of Finland, and all its inhabitants make sure that their city is the cleanest and most comfortable.

9. Oslo (Norway).

In recent years, Oslo has made significant progress in the implementation of environmental programs. He has reduced emissions to the atmosphere and continues to work to keep the streets clean.

10. Freiburg (Germany).

The prefix "eco" is often used for this city. Freiburg is incredibly green and well-maintained, and the quality of life of its inhabitants has been at a high level for several years now.

The cleanest countries in the world

Do you know which countries have the most clean cities? Do not be surprised, such a rating also exists. The top 3 cleanest countries in the world look like this:

• Switzerland.
• Sweden.
• Norway.

Ecologists believe that the Nordic countries will lead this list for a long time to come, because their governments do not spare money for

Russia: rating of the cleanest cities

And what about Russia? What does our own ranking of the cleanest cities look like? In our country, unfortunately, there are no large public organizations that would monitor the ecology of Russian cities. Therefore, we compiled the top 5 cleanest cities in Russia by taking information from various sources. This list looks like this:

• Volgograd.
• Saransk.
• Vologda.
• Kursk.

Of course, these are very approximate data based on a set of estimates that correspond to generally accepted world standards.

Each person individually is responsible for the cleanliness of the surrounding world, because you should not wait for someone to start large-scale actions to clean up the city. You can just pick up a candy wrapper that has fallen on the asphalt and go out on a community work day to remove garbage from a nearby park. When absolutely all residents of megacities do this, the list of the cleanest cities in the world will definitely be replenished with new names.

The cleanest country in the world is Switzerland— the state-leader in solving issues of environmental pollution control and problems with natural resources. The dirtiest country on the planet Iraq. But this is only in terms of the state of ecology today. In the ranking of trends in the development of the environmental situation over the past 10 years, the shameful last place is occupied by Russia. While the leading country in terms of environmental improvement from 2000 to 2010 is Latvia. The rating of the cleanest and dirtiest countries in the world, indicating the index of well-being of environmental trends in 2012, was Yale and Columbia Universities.

Top ten environmentally sound countries included, in addition to Switzerland, which took first place, small states and major European powers: Latvia (2nd place), Norway (3rd place), Luxembourg (4th place), Costa Rica (5th place), France (6th), Austria (7th), Italy (8th), Great Britain and Northern Ireland (9th), Sweden (10th). The rating once again testified to the difference between the ecology of developed and developing countries (5th place for Costa Rica and 49th for the USA is an exception to the rule). However, according to Western experts, the point is not that the major European powers transfer all their harmful production to the poor countries of the world. It's about GDP per capita, as well as investment in basic environmental goods (people's access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation). Developing countries are still on their way to providing a high standard of living for their populations, as well as moving towards more sustainable production and consumption processes.

Top ten countries with the worst environment , in addition to Iraq, which took the last place, included: Turkmenistan (131st place), Uzbekistan (130th place), Kazakhstan (129th place), South Africa (128th place), Yemen (127th place), Kuwait (126th place), India (125th place) , Bosnia and Herzegovina (124th place), Libya (123rd place). The greatest concern among health experts is caused by the ecological situation in China (116th place) and India, since 1/3 of the world's population lives in these countries. Already, air pollution in the Middle Kingdom is the biggest threat to the health of its inhabitants. According to the English newspaper The Guardian, « incidence of lung cancer in Chinese cities in 2-3 times higher than in rural areas, despite the fact that they smoke both there and there equally". Health experts predict that by 2050, air pollution will kill every year. 3.6 million Human. And most of these deaths will be in India and China.

6 of the dirtiest countries in the world are also in the top 10 countries with extremely negative environmental trends (right column in the general table). The worst results in changing the environmental situation from 2000 to 2010, as mentioned above, were shown by Russia. Kuwait is in second place on this black list, Saudi Arabia is in third, followed by Bosnia and Herzegovina, Estonia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Iraq, South Africa, and Turkmenistan closes the top ten outsiders. According to the conclusion of Western experts, Russia has demonstrated the worst trends in the environmental situation due to critically low indicators in the field of environmental protection. The population of the Russian Federation uses the country's weak environmental legislation, which results in such problems as fishing and deforestation passing all permissible norms. The only environmental indicator that has improved in Russia over the past 10 years is the volume of sulfur dioxide emissions. Surprisingly, it has shrunk.

The position of our country and the nine countries of the world that have joined it looks especially sad against the background of the other participants in the rating. The vast majority of states have improved their environmental performance over the period from 2000 to 2010. Top Trends showed Latvia, in second place - Azerbaijan, in third - Romania, followed by Albania, Egypt, Angola, Slovakia, Ireland, Belgium and Thailand.

Each of the 132 countries participating in the ranking was evaluated according to 22 parameters, including: the detrimental impact of the environment on public health, the impact of polluted air and polluted water on human health, the impact of polluted atmosphere and water resources on ecosystems, the state of forests, the scale of fishing and agriculture, climate change, and much more.

To date, the environmental situation in some cities of Russia leaves much to be desired. However, in recent years, the government has seriously taken up the issue of improving the environment. The creation of waste processing enterprises, the transition to environmentally friendly fuel and the installation of gas cleaning equipment at factories contributes to the improvement of the ecological state of individual settlements. The top 10 includes the cleanest cities in Russia 2018-2019, the list of which is presented below.

Yoshkar-Ola

Yoshkar-Ola or Red City opens the rating of the cleanest Russian cities as of 2018-2019. It is the capital of the Republic of Mari El. The ecological situation here is not as acute as in other Russian cities. However, problems with environmental pollution still exist and are quite large. There are many large enterprises in the Red City that produce emissions into the atmospheric air. The issue of water quality in the Malaya Kokshaga River is quite acute. Wastewater, which is industrial waste, is regularly discharged into this reservoir and other rivers of the city. Despite such a situation with rivers, the quality of drinking water has been significantly improved in recent years.

Tambov

Tambov is one of the ten most environmentally friendly cities in Russia today. Despite the large number of industrial enterprises, the air pollution index is relatively low and amounts to 4. There is a waste sorting enterprise on the territory of the region, which processes polymers into granules. The city has a large number of parks, and many streets are landscaped, which makes it possible to additionally purify the air from car exhaust emissions.

Saransk

Saransk located on the eighth line of environmentally friendly cities. It is located in Mordovia and is its capital. There are more than a dozen industrial enterprises in the city that regularly release emissions into the environment. In recent years, it has been possible to increase environmental friendliness thanks to environmental protection measures. Saransk has 100% gasification, thanks to which the emission of harmful substances is minimized. Previously, there was a deplorable situation with river waters, which were maximally polluted. Now everything has changed and fish began to appear in the rivers.

Petrozavodsk

Petrozavodsk considered an environmentally friendly city in Russia as of the end of 2019. The level of air pollution over the previous years was considered to be satisfied. Recently, the situation in this regard has improved several times, because the emission of pollutants into the atmosphere has decreased eightfold over the past two decades. It was possible to achieve such changes for the better thanks to the installation of gas cleaning equipment at enterprises and the conversion of most plants to natural gas. One of the problems facing Petrozavodsk most acutely is the negative impact of municipal solid waste due to the lack of well-established disposal measures. Another urgent problem of the city is the high level of pollution of river waters.

Naberezhnye Chelny

Naberezhnye Chelny belongs to the cleanest cities in Russia from an environmental point of view. A feature of this city is that on its territory there is a constant circulation of air, which prevents its stagnation. Air masses are constantly updated, so the air here is clean. There is also no acute problem with water pollution in rivers, as in other Russian cities.

Kazan

Kazan is one of the most environmentally friendly cities in Russia. Today it is the only metropolis that completely recycles industrial waste. On the territory of Kazan there are more than one and a half thousand enterprises that emit harmful substances into the atmosphere and water. In order to reduce the concentration of harmful substances in the city, public transport has been converted to Euro 3 and Euro 4 standards. Disinfection of tap water here is also carried out according to European standards, with the exception of the unsafe method of cleaning with chlorine.

Grozny

Grozny is rightfully considered one of the cleanest Russian cities with a very low level of pollution. This is primarily due to the absence of a large number of industrial enterprises. There are no more than ten factories on the territory of the city. The total amount of harmful emissions into the environment is just over 20 tons, which is quite small compared to other large settlements in Russia.

Magas

Magas is one of the most environmentally friendly cities located on the territory of the Russian Federation. A favorable environmental situation was achieved through the introduction of a new underground waste storage system. The city has eco-terminals designed to collect fluorescent lamps. Also, projects using solar panels have been launched in Magas. The city managed to completely get rid of landfills. Also in Magas, active work is being carried out to purify river waters and improve the quality of drinking water. In the near future, an environmental patrol is expected to be formed, with the help of which the state of natural areas will be monitored and attempts to damage nature will be suppressed.

Kostroma

Kostroma recognized as one of the most environmentally friendly areas in Russia. This is due to the fact that in the city there was a gradation of many industrial enterprises. The second important factor of cleanliness is the presence of a large number of forest plantations that provide residents with clean air. The main source of pollution of the settlement is the industrial plant "Fanplit". The main problem is with the increased pollution of the waters of the Volga River, into which industrial waste is regularly discharged.

Sevastopol

Sevastopol is considered the cleanest city in Russia in terms of ecology. As of 2018-2019, Sevastopol produces the smallest amount of emissions of harmful substances into the environment, of which there are just over 9 tons, the main share of which is from transport. The absence of large industrial enterprises played a huge role. Clean air and water - that's what the people of Sevastopol are proud of. However, in the near future, a coal processing plant, which is at the stage of project development, can spoil the ecological situation in the city. However, there are currently no real threats to the environment.

Many of our compatriots are thinking about where they can move to live within the country. Ratings that show the advantages and disadvantages of individual cities can help them make a choice. How are they composed? What is taken into account? Which cities in Russia occupy the top lines of ratings in certain categories?

Features of cities and regions of Russia

Ecological, climatic and economic conditions in different parts of our country differ markedly. How to determine which Russian cities and regions are favorable for moving to a permanent place of residence? Based on public opinion polls and statistical data, ratings are compiled that should help to understand this issue. Many mass media are engaged in such research, but the ratings compiled by organizations such as the Department of Sociology of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation and the Center for Strategic Studies of the Rosgosstrakh company enjoy the greatest authority. The data source is the Federal State Statistics Service. There are many criteria by which the situation in each city and region is assessed.

Where to move to live better if the environmental factor is important to you

Human health is largely dependent on the state of the environment. Toxic waste that pollutes the air, water and soil can cause serious illness and even premature death. The presence of environmental problems is especially dangerous for pregnant women and children. Various congenital pathologies are the result of exposure to toxic emissions on the human body.

There are three factors that determine the state of the environment:

• industrial waste;
• vehicle exhaust gases;
• geographic location.

Enterprises in industrial cities and a large number of vehicles in metropolitan areas are the main sources of pollution. In addition, the concentration of toxic substances depends on the geographical location. If the city is located between hills, air currents do not blow its territory well enough. In this case, the concentration of harmful emissions increases many times over.

1. Pskov;
2. Smolensk;
3. Murmansk;
4. Nizhnevartovsk;
5. Sochi.

The air is fresh, the city is small and therefore not very polluted. If you are tired of the bustle of the city, gases and cars, then I suggest a trip to Pskov.

http://otzovik.com/review_2344826.html

The purity of the atmosphere in this city is maintained thanks to the coniferous forests located around it. Another positive factor is the abundance of green spaces in the park areas of Pskov.

It is also worth paying attention to the opposite rating, which determines the most environmentally polluted cities in Russia. When choosing a place for permanent residence, it is important to know in which cities the difficult environmental situation poses the greatest risk to health. The environmental anti-rating looks like this:

1. Norilsk;
2. Moscow;
3. St. Petersburg;
4. Cherepovets (Vologda region);
5. Asbest (Sverdlovsk region).

It is easy to see that this list includes metropolitan areas and cities in which large industrial enterprises are located. For example, the Severstal metallurgical plant is located in Cherepovets.

Medical service

An integral part of a fulfilling life is the opportunity to receive quality medical services. Life expectancy directly depends on this factor. The assessment of the level of medical care is based on surveys of residents: how satisfied they are with the availability and professionalism of treatment. As additional indicators, the death rate among people of retirement age and the percentage of people with incomes below the average who seek paid medical services are used. Rating of Russian cities with the highest level of healthcare:

1. Moscow;
2. St. Petersburg;
3. Naberezhnye Chelny;
4. Tyumen.

It is important to remember that cardiac problems are a common cause of disability and premature death. Timely diagnosis and highly professional treatment can stop the development of cardiovascular diseases. People suffering from such ailments should pay attention to the presence of cardiological clinics in the city or region to which they plan to move. These medical institutions must meet modern standards. A large number of clinics providing high-quality treatment for vascular and heart diseases are concentrated in Moscow, however, there are high-tech cardio centers in other Russian cities. For example, the Tyumen Cardiology Research Center, the Novosibirsk Research Institute of Circulatory Pathology named after Academician E.N. Meshalkin and the Research Institute of Cardiology named after V.A. Almazov in St. Petersburg.

Standard of living

In Russia, Moscow and the regions of Siberia and the Far East, where there are large oil and gas fields, are leading in terms of income. The rest of the Russian regions are far behind the leaders. This trend has continued for many years. Rating of the average monthly income of working citizens in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in 2018:

1. Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (73091.7 rubles);
2. Moscow (70220.8 rubles);
3. Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug (64097.55 rubles);
4. Nenets Autonomous Okrug (61592.85 rubles);
5. Chukotka Autonomous Okrug (58063.5 rubles).

It is worth noting that in regions rich in hydrocarbon reserves, not only workers in the oil and gas industry receive high wages. For example, in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, which occupies the first line of the rating, the average monthly income of a school teacher is about 60 thousand rubles.

The leaders of the all-Russian list simultaneously top the income level ratings in the Central, Urals, Northwestern and Far Eastern federal districts. To complete the picture, it is worth comparing the average earnings of residents by federal districts:

1. Central Federal District (45312.3 rubles);
2. Northwestern, Urals, Far Eastern federal districts (40530.6 rubles);
3. Siberian Federal District (31081.05 rubles);
4. Southern, Privolzhsky federal districts (25957.8 rubles).

The average wage characterizes only one aspect of the standard of living. Another important aspect that should not be overlooked is the cost of living and the price level. Such an indicator as the affordability of housing will help to understand this issue. Rating of cities with the highest price of 1 square meter of housing:

1. Moscow (202269 rubles);
2. St. Petersburg (110114 rubles);
3. Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk (104319 rubles);
4. Vladivostok (97576 rubles);
5. Sochi (95467 rubles).

For comparison, you should familiarize yourself with the list of cities with the lowest cost of 1 square meter of housing:

1. Nizhnekamsk (33501 rubles);
2. Novokuznetsk (33935 rubles);
3. Biysk (34558 rubles);
4. Rybinsk (36470 rubles);
5. Cherepovets (36806 rubles).

Settlements with affordable housing prices are mainly located in the Volga region, the Southern Urals and the Siberian Federal District.

Climate

What climatic conditions are considered the most favorable for human health and life? Positive factors include minor day-to-day fluctuations in air temperature and the absence of sudden changes in atmospheric pressure. To strengthen the immune system, the human body needs to receive a lot of ultraviolet radiation, this is especially important for children. Therefore, a large number of sunny days a year has a positive impact on human health.

Taking into account the above criteria, the most comfortable climatic zones for living are the Azov, Black Sea and Caspian coasts. The following cities are located in these zones:

• Krasnodar;
• Sevastopol;
• Novorossiysk;
• Astrakhan;
• Sochi.

Have you ever been to Sochi?! A wonderful place. Half a year summer, half a year off-season - green winter. I moved three years ago from Siberia. The climate is excellent, humid and hot for a maximum of two weeks in August.

Weather-dependent people should carefully approach the choice of a region for permanent residence. Their well-being is deteriorating not only from magnetic storms. It is affected by sudden changes in air temperature and atmospheric pressure. Daily temperature fluctuations up to 1–2 ° C are considered safe for people suffering from meteorological dependence. In the regions listed above, this indicator is kept within these limits.

Employment

For people of working age, the prospect of getting a job in the city chosen for moving is of critical importance. The employment potential of a city or region can be analyzed using several indicators. First of all, you need to find out what kind of competition exists in the local labor market. The number of applicants per vacancy is an indicator showing how intense the competition among job applicants is. You should also take into account the number of unemployed people in a given city and the percentage of its residents who want to move to another region for the purpose of employment. All these criteria together will help determine how attractive and promising a given city is for migrants seeking work.

1. Ryazan;
2. Vologda;
3. Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk;
4. Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky;
5. Vladivostok.

The best cities to live in Russia

If you are planning to move to a new place of residence for the long term or permanently, it is wise to opt for a sustainable and promising city. Many Russian cities have serious development potential and show promise for the future.

Kazan

This city of the Volga region is one of the largest tourist centers in Russia. It attracts about a million tourists every year. The industry of the city includes large chemical and aviation enterprises. Kazan is the leader in terms of housing construction in the Volga region.

Krasnoyarsk

The largest economic, educational and sports center of Central and Eastern Siberia. Multiple winner of the competition "The most comfortable city in Russia". One of the most attractive Russian cities for investment. The leading branches of Krasnoyarsk's economy are non-ferrous metallurgy and mechanical engineering. The population is growing constantly and at a rapid pace.

Krasnodar

The capital of the most economically powerful region in southern Russia. Krasnodar has repeatedly topped the ratings of the most favorable Russian cities for doing business. The industrial potential of the region successfully attracts domestic and foreign investors. The industrial complex of Krasnodar consists of many enterprises that employ about a third of the working population. In addition, Krasnodar is an important transport hub.

Novosibirsk

The Trans-Siberian Railway passes through Novosibirsk. This city has the largest logistics complex in Siberia. Its economy has a number of important advantages: a diversified industry, the development of the service sector, transport, logistics and science, the presence of a large number of small and medium-sized businesses. The population of Novosibirsk is growing thanks to migrants from other Russian regions and CIS countries.

Crime level

The complex criminal situation makes the city unattractive for migrants, even if it boasts high rates by other criteria. The desire to live in a safe place where there is little chance of becoming a victim of criminals often outweighs other arguments in favor of choosing one or another locality. There is a simple way to assess the level of crime - statistics on the number of crimes committed per 1,000 inhabitants. The safest cities in Russia according to this criterion:

1. Ryazan (7.8);
2. Ulyanovsk (11.3);
3. Voronezh (11.5);
4. St. Petersburg (12.0);
5. Penza (12.9).

It is also worth paying attention to the sad list of the most criminal cities in the Russian Federation. Comparison of a positive rating with a negative one shows how much the crime rate differs in different cities and regions.

1. Kemerovo (32.2);
2. Kurgan (31.9);
3. Tyumen (30.7);
4. Nizhny Novgorod (27.7);
5. Samara (24.3).

Child Development

When choosing a permanent place of residence, families with children should give preference to environmentally friendly cities with a high quality of medical care. It is also worth asking about the availability of educational, sports and entertainment facilities. Cities that have a large number of such institutions and create conditions for the comprehensive development and education of children:

1. Kazan;
2. Belgorod;
3. Rostov-on-Don;
4. Kaliningrad;
5. Voronezh.

In the case of moving with small children, it is advisable to avoid sudden changes in climate. If the climatic conditions at the new place of residence and the previous one are not too different, it will be easier for the child's body to endure the move.

prestige

Undoubtedly, the most prestigious city in Russia is its capital. Many Russians aspire to Moscow, hoping to realize their potential there. But it must be taken into account that other large Russian millionaire cities are gradually developing, improving and today they are not much inferior to Moscow. Among them, it is worth highlighting St. Petersburg, which is often called the cultural capital of Russia.

It is impossible to single out one city or region that meets all the requirements at the same time. For example, a city with a high level of average monthly wages may be environmentally unfavorable, so the choice of each migrant depends on personal preferences and life circumstances.
