The field of sustainable development has undergone a number of transformations in recent years, but the ESG agenda continues to be relevant and acquires new meanings in the modern world. Compliance with ESG principles allows us to solve a number of urgent environmental, social and management problems.
During the event, experts discussed the balance of resource distribution in the course of sustainable regional development based on case study of Moscow, trends in development of public spaces, ESG in redevelopment, and the need of the commercial real estate market for amalgamation and partnership.
Olga Gritsan spoke on the topic "City within the Ecosystem/Ecosystem within the City: the Case Study of the Astrakhan Metropolitan Area".
Currently, urban development takes place mainly under the paradigm of environmental protection, rather than ecosystem interaction, which requires sufficiently precise "fine-tuning" to the biotic component.
As part of the ESG agenda, it is important to preserve the role of ecosystems in the city not only by balancing natural and green areas and creating hybrid spaces of new formats, but also by building ecosystem interaction with the "host landscape".
