Monotowns are a legacy of the industrial era. Their emergence is due to the modernization of the 20th century, which included a command system of management, as well as a special distribution of the resource base. In the Russian Federation there are 319 settlements that are in the status of single-industry ones. They live over 15 million people. Increasing their level of security, as well as economic and social development of these cities - a national task.

Local self-government can not solve it separately. When the fund is working, it is planned to actively refer to the experience of other countries. Monotowns have several advantages. First of all, we are talking about the high concentration of educated people. There are settlements where the number of residents with an average special and higher education is very significant. In some single-industry cities, a high-level infrastructure has been created. Usually in these settlements there are powerful energy and engineering projects. They satisfy the needs of the main town-forming enterprise.

Separate mention should be made of large factories. It is important that in many localities the city-forming enterprise operates today, which sets the organizational and economic structure of the territory. This fact can be considered positive, even if a certain plant does not go to full capacity. However, there are mono-cities and serious problems that need to be addressed.
