Abstract

The article is a continuation of the article (Raysikh 2020), where the problem of defining the boundaries of urban agglomerations or delineating urban agglomerations based on world experience was formulated. At the same time, it was emphasized that the methodology for assessing the boundaries of urban agglomerations should be based, on the one hand, on the source data available to all countries, and, on the other hand, on accumulated world experience, ensuring an acceptable approximation to many already used models of delimitation.

The purpose of this article is to develop and test a model of the delimitation of urban agglomerations based on international and domestic experience and suitable for the conditions of Russia and other countries of the world.

Based on the available data, the results of using various methods of urban agglomeration delimitation were analyzed, and their advantages and disadvantages were identified. As a result, the author's model of urban agglomeration delimitation was proposed. The assessment of the composition and boundaries of urban agglomerations in Russia made on this basis showed a fairly high degree of approximation to existing models of urban agglomeration delimitation (which, as a rule, are based on the use of raw data that are not evaluated by statistical agencies in most countries of the world, including Russia).
