The environmental agenda of global development, temporarily suspended by the sanctions regime due to objective circumstances, cannot be lifted, it needs to be reset, taking into account the logistical, technological and investment constraints that have arisen. Possibly less ambitious and locally focused eco-projects are required. The analysis of the experience of eco-cities recognized as the best has shown that the effectiveness of the integrated use of cleaning and recycling technologies, methods of reproduction and consumption of energy resources, technologies of transportation and organization of public spaces, smart regulation of the housing and communal system, etc. it is sufficient to compensate for the impact of rising cost factors. At the same time, the frontal implementation of eco-technologies in practice is hindered by political instability, low investment activity, and the lack of development of technologies, especially bearing in mind the confirmation of the effectiveness of their use in practice. Taking into account the practical results and the identified problems, the author suggests using an exposition mechanism for promoting eco-projects with the possibility of iterative, as soon as ready, expansion of innovative technological content of projects.

“…The natural complex's ecological capacity depends on the volumes of the leading natural reservoirs-the air basin, water bodies, watercourses, land areas, and soil reserves-as well as the biomass of flora and fauna. Additionally, the capacity of biogeochemical fluxes that renew the contents of these reservoirs, including the rate of local atmospheric gas exchange, replenishment of clean water volumes, soil formation processes, and the productivity of biota, plays a crucial role [27]. Anthropogenic impact has pushed the natural complex of the territory to its limit of stability, which has resulted in excessive levels of variability.…”

(1) Background: The article discusses approaches to assessing the ecological acceptability of locating new facilities in areas with special natural resource management status. The presence of natural resources and environmental constraints determine the activity of such facilities. We selected the Central Ecological Zone of the Baikal Natural Territory as the object of study, where the fundamental principle of economic activity is ecological, namely through the prevention of the harmful impacts of production, population, and business on the Lake Baikal ecosystems and the surrounding environment, as well as the restriction of certain types of economic activities and more stringent environmental regulation. The study aims to develop a methodological approach for assessing the ecological acceptability of locating facilities in areas with environmental constraints. (2) Methods: We analyzed the possible risks of locating new facilities based on determining the environmental impact of economic activities and assessing the environmental and associated socio-economic consequences of this impact. We determined the ecological acceptability of existing types of economic activities within the proposed approach based on a multi-criteria analysis, including an assessment of the state and possible changes in pollution flows and natural potential of the territories, the anthropogenic state of natural complexes, external and internal costs, and compliance with the status of natural resource management and regulations. (3) Results: The research results indicate that in most of the Central Ecological Zone of the Baikal Natural Territory, the location of new facilities is acceptable in terms of the balance between ecological capacity, anthropogenic load, and economic damage from pollution. However, when locating, it is necessary to consider restrictions on pollutant and contaminant standards, hydrological risks in certain sections of the coast, and the limited labor resources in the Severo-Baykalsky district. (4) Conclusions: The obtained analytical results can be used to scientifically substantiate the location of new facilities in areas with special natural resource management status since the main criterion postulated is that the anthropogenic load on the territory should not exceed the self-recovery potential of the territory’s natural complex.

“…Other authors believe that a city that is not sustainable is not really "smart", and the role of technology in smart cities should be to ensure the sustainable development of cities, not new technology as an end. Representatives of this approach believe that a "sustainable smart city" is defined as the goal of balanced development and relying on technology in solving social, economic, and environmental problems to improve the quality of life of the population, increase the efficiency of urban management and build up the economic, technological and intellectual potential of the city (Akimova et al, 2020). They also note that such a city involves building a complex structure of relationships between various synergistic clusters with the help of ICT, allowing the creation, application, and dissemination of solutions that help ensure a favorable living environment in the city and achieve the SDGs (Bibri and Krogstie, 2017).…”

Objective. Explore the features and problems of implementing the Sustainable Development Goal No. 11 on the example of the Russian Federation. Method. When writing the article, several methods of scientific knowledge were used: the method of system analysis; method of comparative law; analysis; synthesis. Results. The theory and practice of attaining SDG No. 11 in Russia, dedicated to ensuring the sustainable development of cities, are analyzed in the article, and existing regulatory and doctrinal indicators that make it possible to assess the degree of achievement of the tasks set are defined. The authors conduct a comparative analysis of sustainable development with other environmental strategies (eco-city, smart city) and consider trends and prospects for developing urban planning tools to balance ecological, economic, and social interests in cities. Contributions. Taking into account the peculiarities of the existing legal doctrine in Russia and other former countries of the USSR, it is proposed to further develop the design of the “guarantee mechanism” for ensuring sustainable development, including the conditions for the implementation of SDG No. 11. To fill the legal gap in assessing the degree of achievement of the SDGs it is proposed to develop the Concept of Russia’s transition to sustainable development, with the definition of precise tasks for each of its stages, financing, responsible bodies, etc.
