Abstract: Abstract— The article presents a methodology and results of calculating the integral multicomponent index of socioeconomic development of cities in the Russian Federation. The index is constructed from four key groups of urban development indicators: level of economic development, human development, provision of social infrastructure, and quality of the urban environment. Direct and calculated indicators from municipal, regional, and departmental statistics were used. The method’s novelty is that, the proposed index was used to assess the level of socioeconomic development of most cities in the country (over 95%), whereas other international and domestic studies consider single cities or cities of a certain size. In general, among Russian cities with moderately pronounced differentiation of the socioeconomic development index, among the leaders, in addition to both capitals, are resource cities with increased values of the components “economic development” and “social infrastructure,” as well as science and satellite cities with a high level of development of the urban environment and improved human development. The worst positions are typical of small peripheral cities with low levels of economic development and human development, low provision of social infrastructure, and unsatisfactory state of the urban environment.
