Nature Restoration Technologies as a Tool for Urbanisation Management

Abstract

Urban management is a new terminology in global urban planning, actively influencing the indicators of environmental sustainability and actions in relation to various climate risks on the planet. Experts consider different types of technologies as an opportunity to manage urbanization at the global level and predict the situation in the socio-economic and environmental spheres of life. On the other hand, the increasing risks on the planet from floods, hurricanes, fires and droughts force specialists to adapt to these changes, learn how to control them through new design technologies. Therefore, the emergence of the term “urban management” is not accidental and is associated with a change in the perception of the level of sustainability of the environment, the comfort of living for people of different ages and social status in large cities. In this regard, the assessment and meaning of such well-known concepts as “Sustainable City”, “Green City”, “Smart City” changes somewhat. Their content is filled with a new meaning if the technological aspect is added to the socio-economic and environmental aspects of sustainable development, as an independent concept associated with the restoration of the natural potential of cities by technological means. Therefore, the article will consider the problems of restoring nature and urbanized territories through the use of ecological technologies that simulate natural processes with different typological content: from the restoration of biotopes to the accumulation of rainwater in the body of the natural landscape.
