In the last decade, the problems of socio-economic development of the Far East have acquired a special geopolitical factor. The President of Russia has outlined the general trend of the country’s development – a turn to the east. Significant financial and managerial resources are being invested in the region. The most important factor in the development of the territory is declared to be demographic population growth through improving the quality of life of people in its broadest interpretation. Today we can state that this indicator has not been achieved in most regions, with the exception of only a fifth of the targeted territories. The object of the study is the urban settlements of the Far East in their territorial development; the subject of the study is the population of urban settlements as a factor of territorial development. The purpose of the study is to analyze the factors of urban growth points and explore the development of promising solutions to improve the demographic situation. Objectives of the study: analysis of population dynamics in Far Eastern cities and similar territories; typification of factors in the formation of the population of urban areas; development of proposals for their sustainable development. It is concluded that there are insufficient measures to improve the demographic situation of the Far East. The territories of the region are developing unevenly, inequality among themselves and with the European part of the country, is smoothed out too slowly, which leads to an even greater lag of the periphery from the federal and regional centers. All this is reflected, first of all, in population migration, which has been negative for many years. In addition to general regional policy measures and job creation in the region, it is proposed to pay attention to employment in cities, and not only in service activities. These are jobs in new industrial “urban clusters”, as points of growth and modernization of the region, anchor territories for the working population. In fact, we are talking about new industrialization and real jobs. The research methodology is based on the concept of “center-periphery” (“core-periphery”) and the typology method. Industry scientific methods are used: cartographic, statistical and comparative
