As countries develop, the proportion of people living in megacities increases, and in the largest ones. Globally, the average proportion of a country’s population living in metropolitan areas is only 34% in low-income countries, but 71% in high-income countries. Agglomerations or metropolitan areas are large urbanized areas that usually consist of a core and periphery, characterized by a high population density and a well-developed transport network. An increase in the load on the infrastructure of the largest agglomerations due to the continuing influx of Russian population. As a result of overloading the transport infrastructure, environmental problems worsen, leading to a deterioration in the health of the population and an increase in the costs of the health system. Increasing the load on the management system of the largest agglomerations. Compression of small and medium-sized cities: the reduction of tax revenues with the continuing burden on the city budget and infrastructure will not allow to qualitatively improve the standard of living of citizens. The growing gap in quality of life and existing opportunities between the largest agglomerations and small and medium-sized cities may lead to an even greater migration outflow from the latter.
