The paper is focused on the development of the city of Moscow and its close and distant suburbs, as well as on the accompanying problems related to the specificity of Russia’s urbanization. A complex hierarchy of urban spatial structures formed around the nation’s capital was distinguished, mapped, and analyzed. Both the former and today’s urban policies are discussed in the paper in view of the latest dramatic extension of Moscow’s boundaries and its potential effects.
