Ecology in agglomeration - environment and development of the social framework

Session
15 November 2024

Hall 10
The development of major agglomerations around the world is accompanied by such negative phenomena as urban sprawl and explosive development of suburbia. Statistics confirms that suburban municipalities of Moscow, Ufa, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Astana and a number of other agglomerations are growing faster than centre cities.
These processes are accompanied by lagging behind in the development of transport and social infrastructure and critically affect the deterioration of the environmental situation. Labour migration from suburbia to the city-centre is ensured by individual motor transport, which leads to increased air pollution, ‘cottage’ settlements are often built without a planning project, without centralised water supply and treatment facilities, carpet development leaves no room for park and recreational areas and everywhere disrupts the connectivity of the natural and ecological framework of the agglomeration.

The session will discuss the development of the middle and peripheral areas of the agglomeration with a focus on ecology and sustainable development:
  • mechanisms and tools for coordinated development of agglomeration municipalities adjacent to its central core;
  • priorities of forming a high quality of life based on proximity to wildlife and reduced density of urban development of the territory;
  • preservation of continuity, development and restoration of disturbed elements of the natural-ecological framework
  • the possibility of preserving biodiversity and reducing environmental impact in the processes of suburbanisation.
  • Formation of social infrastructure to ensure people's conservation
