Today, the Trans-Siberian Railway passes through the city district, the river port on Kama is no less important for logistic purposes, and at one time the first railroad in the Urals was laid.

Power in the industrial sense is Perm. The population, area, geographical location, territorial division, infrastructure and current problems of the urban district will be briefly considered below.

Geographical position

Day in the European part of Russia begins with Perm. The name of the city, which is on the edge of Europe, in translation from Vepsian means "distant land." Perm is characterized by an extensive network of small rivers, extensive natural resources and a large number of green spaces. The city district is located on the banks of the Kama river, which is connected with five European seas.

Population of modern Perm

The population of the urban district of Perm is 1 041 876 inhabitants, 991 162 people live in the city directly. In the past few years, the number of Perms has increased year by year, although before that, from 1990 to 2005, there has been a decrease in the number of people. Millionth mark Perm reached in 2012, although the city received the status of a millionaire by population and before that - in 1979.

• Russian (eighty eight percent);
• Tatars (four percent);
• Ukrainians (one and six tenths of a percent);
• Bashkirs (one percent);
• Komi-Permyaki (one percent);
• Udmurts (eight tenths of a percent);
• Byelorussians (six tenths of a percent);
• Other nationalities (two whole and one hundredth percent).

Area and territorial division

Perm is divided into seven urban areas. The area of the settlement allows you to accommodate in the city's county countless residential areas, urban forests and recreation parks, as well as a powerful complex of industrial enterprises. The Kama River, which divides the city into the right-bank and left-bank parts, is a peculiar city-forming axis.

The territory of Perm is almost 800 km2 (sq. Km). The city is distinguished by a small population density combined with low-rise buildings and a huge number of green spaces.

Districts of the city district

The historical and business center of Perm is the Leninsky district. There are libraries, a philharmonic society, theaters, galleries and exhibition halls, several higher educational institutions, representative offices of state structures and industrial enterprises. The Leninsky district occupies 47.5 square kilometers. Km, which is almost six percent of the total urban area.

Ordzhonikidzevsky district occupies 22% of the Perm area. In this administrative-territorial unit are located primarily industrial enterprises and the private sector. Private houses in Ordzhonikidzevsky district number three and a half thousand, multi-unit - only eight hundred and fifty.

The rest of the city of Perm - Kirov, Industrial, Sverdlovsk, Dzerzhinsky, Motovilikhinsky - are evenly built up with apartment and private houses, as well as industrial enterprises and objects of social orientation, that is, hospitals, schools and kindergartens, shops. Among the urban forests, Perm (the area of the last in total is almost 34 thousand hectares) has extensive territories, except perhaps Sverdlovsk region, densely built up by residential buildings.

Infrastructure of the settlement

The main problems of Perm in the sphere of housing and communal services are:

• Reduction of construction of affordable housing;
• Low availability of purchasing own residential space for citizens with low and medium income levels;
• Insufficient financing of capital repairs of the housing stock from the local budget;
• The need for significant investment from the municipal authorities to stabilize the housing and communal services.

The correctness of the layout of neighborhoods and streets in the center of the village is Perm. The area of the city, in addition, is covered with a dense road network, so that problems with ease of movement by personal vehicles are not observed. The traffic is moderate, but differs in intensity during peak hours.

A significant share of the movement is public transport. More than a thousand buses, almost two hundred trams and one hundred and twenty trolley buses - this kind of urban transport has Perm. The area of the city is also served by fixed-route taxis operating in twelve directions.

The main direction of the city infrastructure development is the extension of rail transport. So, in the framework of the project "Perm tram" 45 new trams were bought, which are of low floor, especially convenient for low-mobility citizens and parents with baby carriages, as well as the presence of Wi-Fi.
