Environmental sustainability as the basis for urbanized ecosystems cluster projection

Abstract

The objective of the study is to theoretically ground and develop methodological foundations for urban ecosystems cluster projection in the context of the ecological, systemic and cluster provisions of the sustainable development concept. The theoretical research was carried out using methods of analysis and synthesis of existing scientific development in the sphere of urban ecosystems territorial organization, including on the cluster approach basis. According to the study findings, the following results were obtained: - basic provisions of the cluster paradigm in the context of the network essence of the cluster are explored; - the essence of the cluster project is clarified from the position of network connections and agglomeration approach; - the ecosystem characteristics of the cluster for the purposes of urbanized ecosystems projection are explored; - elements of the ecosystems cluster projection concept, based on the cooperative mechanism, are proposed.
