The development of the largest agglomerations around the world is accompanied by such negative phenomena as urban sprawl and explosive development of suburbia. Statistics confirm that suburban municipalities of Moscow, Ufa, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Astana and a number of other agglomerations are growing faster than city centers.
The described processes are accompanied by a lag in the development of the transport framework and social infrastructure and critically affect the deterioration of the environmental situation. Labor migration from the suburbs to the city center is provided by individual motor transport, which leads to an increase in air pollution, "cottage" settlements are often built without a planning project, without providing for centralized water supply and treatment facilities, carpet development leaves no room for parks and recreational areas and everywhere disrupts the coherence of the natural and ecological framework of the agglomeration.
The session will discuss issues of development of the central and peripheral territories of the agglomeration with an emphasis on ecology and sustainable development:
• mechanisms and instruments for the coordinated development of municipalities of the agglomeration adjacent to its central core;
• priorities for the formation of a high quality of life based on proximity to living nature and low density urban development of the territory;
• maintaining the continuity, development and restoration of damaged elements of the natural and ecological framework;
• opportunities for preserving biodiversity and reducing the impact on the environment in the processes of suburbanization;
• formation of social infrastructure that ensures national conservation.
