Development of the large city of Central Russia: manifestation of cyclicity of the evolutionary process

Abstract

The processes of social and economic development of the large city with deep historical «roots» from the position of the cyclicity concept are analyses. The spatial and temporal regularities of its function on the example of the modeling object – located in the Central Russia the Bryansk regional center as one of the oldest cites of the country, which founded in the X century, are defined. The features of the transformation of its structure are discovered. Four cycles of development of the processes, their branches and stages are revealed. Their specific character is grounded in the article. The cycles determine the general trend of the development, the branches reflect the direction, the stages – the intensity of processes. The waves of pulsation are expressed: 4 main peaks of activity growth and 4 hollows of sharp decline. At the modern stage the conception of a new fifth cycle is outlined.
