The article considers the potential territorial mobility of youth, which refers to the willingness of young people to move outside their current residence. The sociological study was conducted in 2019, the object of which were students and working youth of Yekaterinburg. We interviewed 750 boys and girls by questioning method. In addition, 22 in-depth interviews were conducted, as well as an expert survey. The research materials indicate that the young generation is focused on moving to other settlements, among which the most attractive are the capital cities of Russia (Moscow, St. Petersburg) and Europe (Prague, Barcelona, Vienna). The main factors of the attractiveness of the territories are, first of all, new opportunities for self-realization, as well as the quality of the urban environment. The city should also have a special unique history and architecture. Among the factors of youth consolidation in a certain territory are the presence of social ties and relations, as well as a stable material status. The territorial identity deserves special attention, which becomes a condition for the youth to settle. The presence of events that perform the function of integrating urban residents into the urban community, as well as the development of park / walking areas in the territory contribute to the formation of identity.
