Assessment and recommendations

With a population of 1.175 million in 2011, the urban agglomeration constituted by the city of Krasnoyarsk and six adjacent municipalities is the economic and administrative centre of Krasnoyarsk Krai, the Russian Federation’s second-largest region by territory but also one of its most sparsely populated. The Krasnoyarsk Agglomeration is also the most important concentration of population and economic activity in Eastern Siberia. Its importance to the larger region is growing, moreover, as it is one of the few places in Siberia to experience population growth in recent years, against the backdrop of demographic decline at the level of both the Siberian Federal District and the Russian Federation as a whole.
