Moscow is one of the largest Russian cities.People from all over the country and abroad come to the capital to work.That is why the population of Moscow is growing.According to the latest official data, it is close to 12 million. People, but in reality this figure is significantly higher.
fact that most immigrants working in Moscow, officially not registered anywhere, they work illegally.Therefore, the real number of the population of Moscow is very difficult to estimate.
Its increase is also due to the addition of new territories.For the last two years of the Moscow includes 21 municipalities and 19 rural and urban settlements.This increased the population of 250 thousand. Man, and the area of Moscow has increased by 148 thousand. Hectares.
By expanding the territory of the Moscow population density decreased significantly since the acquisition of territory was sparsely populated.Still, Moscow is the most populous city in Russia with a population density of 4.68 thousand. Per square kilometer.
indigenous population of Moscow reduced every year.Being replaced by labor migrants from the regions and neighboring countries.The relationship between indigenous residents and guests add up very negative.This is due to the differences in the education and culture of different peoples.
Since the population of Moscow is growing, and increases the level of pollution of the city.The noise of cars on the streets of Moscow does not cease even at night, but because of the exhaust gases and airborne pollutants can not be ventilated areas.
is growing and the number of municipal landfills, which are no longer able to take all the rubbish Moscow.And if the city government does not soon find a way to solve this problem, the epidemiological situation in Moscow promises to be quite dangerous.
also large population of Moscow has an impact on infrastructure.Today at peak hours public transport is crowded.On the roads of constant traffic jams due to the increasing number of vehicles, some transport facilities are simply unable to serve such a large flow.
But, in general, greater density of population due to the high level of wages in comparison with the regions, a large number of educational institutions and the presence of a huge number of jobs.These are the main reasons why migrants seek the capital.
Moscow City Government is working to reduce the density of the population and taking real steps in this direction.In recent years, the area of Moscow almost doubled, the rules of residence of foreign migrant workers have become more stringent, and the situation in the region is constantly improving.
Thanks to these measures, as well as the gradual stabilization of the economy as a whole, the population of Moscow in the coming years may be significantly reduced, according to official data up to 8 million. People.But in any case, Moscow will remain the most sought-after city by the Russians.
