Indeed

I think this city is going places, but still about 5 years of bardak left until boom-town status

When Sochi won the battle to host the 2014 Winter Olympic Games, many claimed that investment in a dilapidated Soviet resort, partially on swampland, was just for show, and that the city would quickly turn into a Potemkin village.
Predictions of the city's decline after the investment attracted by the games so far appear to be inaccurate. On Wednesday, the mayor of the area, popular as a domestic holiday destination for Russians, and increasingly as a residence for those seeking a better climate, said that it was growing at an almost unprecedented pace. According to Alexey Kopaygorodsky, the permanent population has nearly doubled from just over 300,000 in 2010 and now stands at more than 600,000.

600k population, this can easily reach 1 million soon

Sochi now officially qualifies to have a nuclear submarine named after it

''Yasen-class submarine Sochi'' has a nice ring to it

It may just increase to over a million. Sochi has perfect weather for Russia, beautiful, lots of recreation and activities. Only thing is that it may not have going for it is industry. That can also change over time. Hell, Russia should make it a movie and electronics industry as well.

So much prospects for that city. I know a guy here whos family has property south of Sochi and he plans to move back when his contract here is done cause now he can get work over there making decent money and he already has a house he can live in. Says its so wonderful to live there but prior, no work. Now lots to do.

Don't spoil it with industry. Sochi requires growth control. Having millions move there because of the mild climate would destroy it.
Save money and do not allow any relocation. If there is a need to grow southern cities then prevent focusing on one and force the
growth to be spread across many population centers. Wild west urban formation is just stupid.

You are right. But some industries is needed imo. Why not allowing processing plants like waste processing to make end goods, and furniture as well as smaller industry style businesses? These shouldn't cause any issues I can think of. Also, having a movie industry there may also attract more in tourism as well.

Just my own thoughts.

What a great idea! Have even more tiny little impoverished towns in Russia, just with sunshine and palm trees and total lack of work.

You'd think by now that Russia/Russians would realize by now that the reason why Moscow/Peter/other larger cities have such wealth and living standards is that they are large cities with large collective people living close together and working together, providing a nurturing environment for innovation, growth, industry and other things.

And how are you going to "save" money and not allow any relocation? With a fucking gun pointed to their head? Are you insane? You most certainly will save some money, these people will go abroad, to a country that doesn't do insanely stupid shit like like forcing unnatural growth trends that prevent an increase in quality of life.

Also this is a golden nugget right here, "growth control", as if there is much growth in Russia currently to control at all, and you want to prevent Russians seeking out better climate and conditions within their own country and growth of new large cities?

Take a valium, dude.

You set up a straw man and then proceed to tear it down. Get stuffed.

For those who don't have a stick up their ass: the point is not to have a black hole urban development pattern where one center grows
at the expense of all the other ones in the region to create yet another urban toilet. I bet the residents of Sochi don't want some
horde arriving to grow the city to a size that suits some internet arm chair expert's desire. And distributed city growth has nothing
to do with the retarded claim that that they will all be poor. Here we see the "expert" assuming that Russia is full of decaying towns.

This confirms that the claimer is an Ukr as has been evident in his other posts. He is repeating all the brain dead Ukr fantasies about
Russia while trying to pose as a Russian. GTFO.

LMAO, where's the straw man? You wanted to do growth control and save money, why don't you explain what you mean? You want to return to Soviet style system where you had to apply to Interior Ministry of whatever city and receive permission to move? You want to restrict Russians freedom of movement? How exactly are you going to control this growth and interior migration?

Oh yeah dude, what utter black hole Moscow and the other major Russian cities are, just depressing hotspots of modern infrastructure and services, buses, modern housing, metro, HEALTHCARE.

I also think you're the last person to talk about what residents of Sochi want, I'm quite certain they are very happy with their cities growth, compared to how previously before the investments into the Olympics, there were frequent power outages.

And don't worry about Sochi being the only growing southern city, there is also the blackhole of Krasnodar! Russia's fastest growing city if I recall correctly, I'm SURE how awful life is for the residents, living in such a bleak city! I am sure they would rather be forced to live somewhere else by some dude named kvs.

And I can assure you, Russia is full of villages, small towns and even some moderate sized ones that are quickly losing population, especially in the North and Far East. Please inform them how great their lives are there, and that they shouldn't move to a better region with better opportunities. So yeah, I'm thinking I'm quite correct in my rating of the poor conditions outside of major Russian cities.

Lol dude, maybe learn Russian like I have and go read and listen to what actual Russians have to say, especially those outside of major cities and how they live. I can assure you, Russia's cities are going to continue to grow and a large pace at the expense of the rural smaller areas, and this is a trend the Russian government should be augmenting and assisting, not pissing away limited funds into a lost cause(the Russian rural towns and villages).

Yes, I'd reply in Cyrillic but I don't have such keyboard and phonetic keyboard is ass.

Usually I read Tass and RBC to keep up to date with events and interviews, a key pleasure of mine is reading Tass's (Russian version) of National Projects, lots of encouraging and positive movements there, gives hope and confidence to me to see Russia as a modern nation with high living standards and purchasing power for it's people, which would also mean becoming a proper superpower(somewhat of a meaningless term nowadays).

I also keep up with Russian science with it as well, which is why I posted about the mega grants website in the electronics thread. And I will post more soon about some other stuff.

Here is the National Projects section of Tass to keep apace of Russian spending and development of its country. (You will need translator).
