The article examines various aspects of history of the rise of urban settlements in Tuva – towns and urban-type localities – in the latter half of the 20th century. The author focus primarily on contributing factors in economy (such as the development of industrial manufacturing) and in social life (e.g., improved housing and higher salaries for workers in urban settlements). Among the factors which contributed to the increase in urban population were the promotion of some existing settlements to urban status, incremental growth and labour-related migration from rural Tuva and other regions of Russia.
Statistical data included into the article shows the numerical strength of urban population from 1959 to 1989, including their share in the demographic of Tuva. By 1989, this share has reached 47.1%, with the difference between male and female populations of working age and beyond it quite negligible. The number of urban and rural households turned almost equal, and the population growth in the capital city of Kyzyl was high (27% of Tuva’s total in 1989).
Since mid-20th century, urban settling in Tuva has been unbalanced, which continues to be a major factor in the structure of urban population and its biggest problem – the ongoing migration of rural population to Kyzyl and its suburbs.
