SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF CITIES AND TERRITORIES: STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT THEORY AND MEASUREMENT METHODOLOGY
Abstract
We aim to systematize the elements of sustainable development of cities and their social and ecological components in the theoretical and methodological basis of measuring the effectiveness of post-war reconstruction of the country. We study the theoretical and practical aspects of the economic growth of cities, and we systematize the components of implementing the strategy for achieving sustainable development of cities in the post-war period. We present the main characteristic features of the effective regional policy of the EU and Ukraine, highlighting the revitalization of polluted land plots in cities, the modernization of industrial facilities, the integrated regeneration of urban and rural areas, the development of environmentally friendly urban transport, and the development of residential construction.
We indicate the key aspects of the industrial waste management system in the city and the main directions: production-oriented, socially-oriented, and marketing management approaches. We find that organizational decisions should reflect the harmonious interaction of enterprises in handling industrial waste from the city-forming, city-maintenance, and city-building spheres. We characterize the key aspects of the industrial waste management system in the city and describe a set of methods for evaluating the sustainable development of cities.
We substantiate the importance of applying the scientific and methodological foundations of Zipf’s Law, considering it universal for measuring the effectiveness of the functioning of local communities and territories. We note that for the benefit of future generations, the strategy of sustainable development of cities should satisfy their own needs, covering social, economic, and ecological dimensions. We highlight the interrelationship of the components and present a scientific and methodological approach to determining the level of urbanization of the city, taking into account the index of sustainable development of the city based on Zipf’s law, which we have developed.
