Sustainable development of the city
through “green development”
Asadova Solmaz
The Challenges.asadova1234@gmail.com• Ensuring the development of settlements and territories solely on the basis ofcomprehensive planning and management with public participation.
• Reducing the negative impact of pollutants on the urban environment, including throughthe use of innovative technologies.
• Ensure the development and implementation of local development strategies aimed at
economic growth, job creation, development of tourism, recreation, local culture andproduction of local products.
• Reduce food losses in production and sales chains.
• Reduce the volume of waste generation and increase the volume of its processing andreuse based on innovative technologies and production.
The main problem of the Odessa region and Ukraine as awhole is that the programme of sorting and further
recycling of different types of waste has not been created at
the state level. the city budget does not include any
expenses for waste recycling. private companies are mainlyengaged in recycling. yes, over the last 2 years we haveappeared containers for plastic, glass and paper, but is there
any sense if they go to the same landfill? only a few people
sort rubbish. environmental habits have not been fully
formed in people's minds yet, some people still do notknow what it is for.

The budget should include a line item for the financing ofrecycling and waste processing enterprises by public utilities.

ECO SOLUTION:

Conducting eco-actions

Make environmental protection a priority goal of society

The large volume of food production leads to an excess offoodstuffs, as a result of which they run out of shelf-life. there
are two ways to solve this problem in a reasonable way:
• Organise food bank-type outlets where low-income people
can get food for free or for a small price.
• Food with expiry dates can be recycled to create new raw
materials, for example textiles.

According to the US
Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA),
the amount of textile
waste in the world
increased by 811% from1960 to 2015. About 66%of this waste ends up inlandfills.
