【 摘 要 】

The article is devoted to the theme of boundary delimitation of Chelyabinsk city agglomeration. For this purpose, a method of determining functional urban areas was used. This methodology is international and has been applied repeatedly for definition of agglomeration boundaries around the world. Applying this method makes it possible to compare obtained results with other world analogs of agglomerations, and also to understand the nature of development of agglomeration under study. The result of the study is a map with marked boundaries of agglomerations and a list of municipalities that entered zone of the core city influence. It was concluded that there is a significant degree of centralization of Chelyabinsk agglomeration (75% of the labor force) and an incomplete formation of the suburbia. Satellite cities and areas of their influence on suburban areas were identified. This study was a part of architectural and planning section of the research paper "A Strategy for the Development of Chelyabinsk agglomeration," carried out in 2018. The study helped to understand and trace distribution structure of urbanized areas within the agglomeration, to focus on compactness of the settlement system and to exclude proposals for excessive expansion of agglomeration boundaries by including agricultural municipalities.
