Abstract

The construction of a new railway is considered as a way to successfully solve many socio-economic problems of regional significance, the development of regional production complexes (in particular, petrochemical), the transfer of the center of gravity from the South of Western Siberia, where the reserves of ecological capacity are almost exhausted, to the regions of the Near North, where such reserves are available. The authors note that this will create real prerequisites for expanding the main settlement zone within Western Siberia at the expense of the Near North, eliminating the “Irtysh settlement gap”.
