title: Regional population trends in the city of Moscow during the 1979-1989 intercensal period.
abstract: "This article investigates regional population trends in the city of Moscow during the intercensal period of 1979-1989.  Results indicate that the Outer Zone grew more rapidly than the Inner Zone, which experienced population decline overall.  As a result, the population of Moscow continued to shift to the Outer Zone.  Although the Inner Zone still had a higher population density, the density gradient between the zones had flattened appreciably.  Regional population growth rates were strongly and positively related to changes in housing space."
