Abstract
The article deals with economic, social, scientific and project issues related to the idea of building new cities in Siberia. And this is not just about urban agglomerations, but about economic, scientific and industrial centers. In this regard, the author examines the historical experience of urbanization in Siberia, primarily in the Angara-Yenisei region. During the Soviet period, an extensive network of new towns, comfortable to live in, was created around the constructed power and industrial plants. The article examines the sources of attracting the population and creation of labor collectives in areas of new industrial and civil engineering construction. The author indicates possible risks of the new cities’ acquiring mono-settlement status, outlined by the Soviet practice of urban planning. The author pays great attention to the use of modern experience in the construction of enterprises in the framework of a partnership between the state and private business. The construction of new cities in Siberia will require huge public and private investment. In this regard, possible areas of adjustment to the idea of new cities associated with the revitalization of existing single-industry towns are identified.
