About the event:

On December 25, 2024, the scientific center «Smart technologies for sustainable development of the urban environment in the context of global changes» of ATI RUDN University will organize an international scientific seminar «Green infrastructure and sustainable development». The event will be held in a mixed format on the Microsoft Teams platform. The working language is Russian.

Urban green infrastructure is one of the most important elements of urban infrastructure, which affects the well-being of the environment in the city, the psychological and physiological health of citizens, public opinion and much more. At the same time, urban green infrastructure is extremely complex and multifaceted, since its functioning and maintenance affects a large number of actors: from individual city residents to large businesses and city authorities.

Moreover, in the context of global changes, urban green infrastructure can become an important factor in the adaptation of cities to various changes and new challenges facing society and managers.

 All this makes urban green infrastructure an important and complex object of study from the point of view of various sciences: ecology, biology, geography, sociology, urban studies and many others. The seminar will consider several views on the study of urban green infrastructure, modern challenges and prospects in this direction.

SUN Lab presented the results of the third year of the SUN project

25/12/2021 No Comments

SUN Lab presented the results of the third year of the project “Smart technologies to monitor, model and evaluate ecosystem services provided by urban green infrastructure and soils to support decision making in sustainable city development under global changes”, supported by a Russian Science Foundation (RSF).

Research in the third year of the project was focused on 3 main objectives:

  1. monitoring of ecosystem services of urban green infrastructure based on the Smart Urban Nature network;
  2. interpretation of monitoring data for ecosystem services for various target groups and practical tasks;
  3. application of the results of monitoring and modeling ecosystem services to support decision-making in the field of sustainable development of the urban environment.

SUN lab experts made a plan on development of green infrastructure of Cherepovets

05/10/2021 No Comments

The laboratory Smart Urban Nature worked as a consultant to the “Yauza project” bureau, which developed a project for the spatial development of the city of Cherepovets striving for a reasonable balance between the purpose of the object, the needs of people and the environment. Thus, the main goal in developing the concept was to bring nature to the city to create a comfortable living environment. With the proximity of major roads, the impact of the urban heat island, and the increasing number of extreme weather events associated with climate change, the regulatory functions of green infrastructure seem to be the most significant to assess and implement in the city development.

SUN Lab researchers examined how “Islands of nature” save mental and physical health of city-dwellers during pandemic

13/05/2021 No Comments

International research team including SUN Lab’ scientists interviewed citizens of Moscow (Russia) and Perth (Australia) to find out what role urban green spaces played for them during the COVID-19 pandemic. It turned out that the vast majority of respondents in both cities considered contact with nature to be extremely important for mental well-being, and many of them went for walks in their free time, despite the restrictions. The results of the research, supported by a grant from the Russian Science Foundation, are published in the journal Sustainability.
