The Environs of Russian Cities (Mellen Studies in Geography)

By Grigorii Ioffe, T.G. Nefedova, Tatyana G. Nefedova

This study focuses on strips of land girding large cities in Russia. Applying the term suburb to these strips would generate misleading associations. It's Russian counterpart has derived from a centripetal, urban-orientated migration - the Russian Prigorod is stepping stone to the city, not out of it, as is generally the case in the West.
