Monotowns are a legacy of the industrial age. Their appearance is due to the modernization of the 20th century, which included a command control system, as well as a special distribution of the resource base. There are 319 settlements in the Russian Federation that have the status of single-industry. Over 15 million people live in them. Increasing their level of security, as well as the economic and social development of these cities, is a national task.
It cannot be solved separately by local self-government. During the work of the fund, it is planned to actively apply to the experience of other countries. Monotowns have a number of advantages. First of all, we are talking about a high concentration of educated people. There are settlements where the number of residents with secondary specialized and higher education is very significant. High-level infrastructure has been created in some single-industry towns. Usually in such settlements there are powerful energy and engineering projects. They meet the needs of the main city-forming enterprise.
Special mention should be made of large factories. It is important that in many settlements the city-forming enterprise operates andtoday, which determines the organizational and economic structure of the territory. This fact can be considered positive, even if a certain plant does not reach its full capacity. However, single-industry towns also have serious problems that need to be addressed.
