Abstract	Although the majority of the Russian poor live in urban areas, little work has been done to understand urban poverty and its spatial variations. We argue that peculiarities of Russian urbanization led to an emergence of distinct types of urban settlements, depending on their size/population, remoteness from the main centers of economic activity, natural resource endowment and diversification of local economy. Looking at poverty issues in different types of urban settlements yields a much better understanding of the relationship between household location and welfare. At the same time, disaggregating by types of urban settlements on the basis of just several key parameters does not inflate survey costs nearly as much as a more detailed disaggregation, such as by individual locality. Using household survey data from Tomsk oblast as a case study, we construct profile of the urban poor and identify the key spatial aspects of welfare. The findings are based on materials developed in the project, “Transition to Smart Growth,” jointly implemented by the Urban Institute and the Institute for Urban Economics, Moscow. Work on this paper was supported by the World Bank and U.S. Agency for International Development. Opinions expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the World Bank, USAID or the Institute for Urban Economics. The authors are indebted to the administration of Tomsk oblast for providing the data and cooperating so generously with this study.
