Abstract

© Medwell Journals, 2016.Modern cities being in competition, try to create a more attractive environment for their residents, investors, tourists and businessmen. In this study, we investigate the correlation of migration level and city attractiveness (by the example of millionaire cities of Russia). The investigation is based on the hypothesis that the higher rate of balance of migration indicates a higher level of attractiveness of the city for its residents. To verify the suggested assumption the research was conducted which was based on correlation analysis of amount of balance of migration and activities of attractiveness of the city. This method allowed to reveal the interrelation of the given characteristics of the territory. Then, we ranked the cities in the level of their socio-economic attractiveness.
