Title

Sustainable development of smart cities in the context of the implementation of the tire recycling program


Abstract

At the present moment of society's development, the concept of Smart City development is attracting more and more attention. According to this approach, urban space should be implemented from the position of improving the quality of life of citizens. As part of the development of a smart city, rational and economical use of resources is assumed. This attitude to resources allows not only to save resources but also to improve the quality of life of the population, particularly by improving the environmental situation in the regions. In the world practice of developing cities, the recycling processes are becoming more and more relevant. On the one hand, this saves material and energy resources. On the other hand, these measures help to improve the quality of the environment in the regions. Recently, two concepts have become a trend in the development of urban economy in world practice. One of them is the concept of a smart city, the other is the concept of sustainable urban development. Despite a number of differences, both approaches to city management imply a focus on environmental friendliness. Implementing strategies of development of Russian cities in the framework of the concept of sustainable development and within the concept of smart cities aims to improve the environmental situation in the country. Therefore, the aim of the research was to improve the environmental potential of Russian regions through the use of modern Russian and foreign research, in particular through the tire recycling program. For Russia, one of the key environmental problems is the problem of recycling car tires. Despite the emergence of new eco-friendly ways of recycling tire waste, it is becoming more acute every year. This is understandable, because the number of cars increases every year. Currently, decommissioned tires are a source of environmental pollution in most of the Russian regions. However, this source of pollution is a long-term source. This is due to the fact that worn tires are practically not susceptible to natural decomposition, and, as a result, require increasing space for their storage and disposal. The article provides an analysis of the dynamics and prospects of car tire recycling in the framework of the concept of sustainable development of smart cities. A comparative analysis of the state of this issue in Russian and foreign practice is presented. In addition, according to statistic analysis, the article provides a forecast analysis of the increase in waste in the form of tires and an analysis of the regulatory framework governing the recycling process.
