Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : These proceedings of the Smart and Sustainable Cities Conference (SSC) in Moscow from May 23 to 26, 2018 addresses important questions regarding the global trend of urbanization. What are the environmental consequences of megacities' expansion? What smart solutions can make life in cities safe, comfortable and environmentally friendly? It is projected that 70% of the global population will live in cities by 2050, and as such the book describes how this rapid urbanization will alter the face of the world. Focusing on solutions for the environmental problems of modern megapolises, it discusses advanced approaches and smart technologies to monitor, model and assess the environmental consequences and risks. The contributors present examples of successful sustainable urban development, including management and design of green infrastructure, waste management, run-off purification and remediation of urban soils. The SSC conference and its proceedings offer a valuable contribution to sustainable urban development, and are of interest to the scientific and research community, municipal services, environmental protection agencies, landscape architects, civil engineers, policy makers and other stakeholders in urban management and greenery.

El enfoque de infraestructura verde encarna la idea de que estos servicios, como el control de la escorrentÃa de aguas pluviales, la filtración de contaminantes y los servicios de recreación al aire libre, son tan vitales para una ciudad moderna como los que proporciona cualquier otro tipo de infraestructura. Garantizar que estos servicios ecosistémicos se presten realmente de manera equitativa y sostenible requiere conocimiento de los atributos fÃsicos de los árboles y los espacios verdes urbanos, herramientas para hacer frente a las complejas dinámicas sociales y culturales, y una comprensión de cómo estos factores pueden integrarse en mejores condiciones. prácticas de gobernanza.

The green infrastructure approach embodies the idea that these services, such as storm-water runoff control, pollutant filtration and amenities for outdoor recreation, are just as vital for a modern city as those provided by any other type of infrastructure. Ensuring that these ecosystem services are indeed delivered in an equitable and sustainable way requires knowledge of the physical attributes of trees and urban green spaces, tools for coping with the complex social and cultural dynamics, and an understanding of how these factors can be integrated in better governance practices.
