About Conference
We are pleased to invite you to participate in the Smart and Sustainable Cities Conference (SSC-2024).
After an interesting experience of SSC-2022 we are glad to get back together and give you a warm welcome in Moscow on July 1-6, 2024. The conference will be held in a face-to-face format.
Searching for solutions of the environmental problems of modern megapolises will be the key point of the conference.
Urbanization is a global tendency. Up to 70% of the world population is projected to live in cities by 2050. How will this rapid urbanization alter the face of the world? What are the environmental, economic and social challenges of the megacities’ expansion? What are the smart solutions to adapt to global changes and make life in cities safe, comfortable and sustainable? These and other important questions are addressed by the conference SSC-2024.
SSC conference is organized each second year in Moscow – the largest European megapolis. SSC conference is a traditional discussion platform for a broad audience, including scientific and research community, municipal services, environmental protection agencies and stakeholders working in architecture, landscape design, development and maintenance of urban green infrastructures. SSC-2024 will remain and strengthen the developed interdisciplinary status of the meeting. It will address the current challenges for sustainable urban development, including pollution, climate change and health risks. A particular focus will be given to solutions aiming to reach sustainability: climate adaptation measures, smart technologies to monitor and manage urban soils and green infrastructures and nature-based solutions
This year’s theme for the conference will be «Green infrastructures for sustainable and healthy cities». Megapolises are complex ecosystems. Air and water quality, vegetation and soils in megapolises are exposed to anthropogenic influence. Studying negative environmental consequences of the anthropogenic and technogenic pressures is among the key tasks of urban ecology and environmental impact assessment. Advanced approaches and smart technologies to monitor, model and assess environmental consequences and risks in megapolises will be widely discussed at the conference. Successful experiences of sustainable urban development and nature-based solutions to support climate adaptation, carbon neutrality and human health will be presented.
