Abstract
The article analyzes the spatial distribution of employment in the transport and logistics complex (TLC) of the Moscow agglomeration and evaluates the factors influencing its formation. The assessment is carried out for municipalities of the Moscow region and three administrative districts of Moscow located beyond the Moscow Ring Road, based on data from the database of indicators of municipalities (BDPMO), Cian, OpenStreetMap and Yandex.Maps as of 2022 It is noted that the most significant factor is the population of the municipality, and the most consistently significant factor was the area of warehouse facilities in the municipality. The proximity of the municipality to the Central Ring Road is a more significant factor affecting employment in the TLC than proximity to the MKAD, since large logistics infrastructure are located near the Central Ring Road, while small warehouse facilities are located next to the MKAD. Proximity to airports is a significant factor, since airports themselves generate high employment and attract logistics infrastructure (cargo terminals, warehouse facilities, etc.). The impact of wages on the number of employees in TLC is high, but its importance is lost against the background of other factors. The advantage of the approach used is its accessibility and comprehensibility, including for use in the business environment or in the field of public and municipal administration.
