Use of the population potential model for predicting the growth of cities in a region (with reference to Moscow Oblast).
"A modification of the population potential model is used to analyze the structure of the potential of population for cities of the Moscow region, to develop a relationship between population potential and city size, and to use this procedure to forecast future population change in Moscow Oblast cities."
