Summary	One of the consequences of industrial colonization of the Urals in the 18th century was its transformation into a special purpose region. The mining industry which served the fundamental interests of the state homogenized the environment. This process was ill supported by the uneven distribution of the innovative for that time mining and metallurgical technologies. Their concentration in the mining districts lead to the formation of a split, fragmented territory. The situation was further aggravated by the fact that the crown allowed for part of the territory to be privately managed (as opposed to the Altai region). On the other hand the same production cycle and the uniform surrounding territory development methods based on the center-periphery connections created a uniform environment inside the mining district itself, which played a dominant role in a whole mining province with the surrounding territories for a long period.
