This interdisciplinary proceedings book addresses highly relevant
topics in urbanization and its environmental impacts and presents
case studies revealing the negative environmental consequences of
the anthropogenic and technogenic pressures. Urbanization is an
important trend in current land-use change, with up to 70% of the
world population projected to live in cities by 2050. How will this
rapid urbanization alter the face of Europe? What are the
environmental consequences of the expansion of megacities? These
and other important questions are addressed in the Megacities 2050
Proceedings of the VI International Conference on Landscape
Architecture to Support City Sustainable Development. Megapolises
are complex ecosystems, and their air and water quality, vegetation
and soils are exposed to anthropogenic influences. The book
discusses advanced approaches and techniques to monitor, model and
assess environmental consequences and risks in megapolises and
offers solutions to the environmental problems of modern
megapolises. It also presents successful, sustainable
urban-development projects from Europe and beyond, including the
management and design of green infrastructure, waste management,
run-off purification and remediation of urban soils. Focusing on
urban soils and ecosystems, the book is intended for experts in
various fields of geography, urban studies and planning, and
environmental sciences, including those in the scientific and
research community, municipal services, environmental protection
agencies, stakeholders working in urban management and greenery,
landscape architects, civil engineers and policy-makers.
