Forming a sustainable ecological environment of the coastal areas of urban water bodies

Abstract

Green embankments are one of the topical themes in modern urbanism and the most valuable urban resource, mainly determining the image and state of the city’s environment. Russia’s historic cities are redeveloping the coastal space. The historic image of the city’s water features is essential in many ways. The waterways of the urban system originally were and are city-forming objects. Improvement, renovation, and restoration of coastal areas is an urgent task, requiring integrated approaches to realize the sustainable development of urban areas.
