Urban Development Management on an Eco-Innovation Basis: Content and Mechanism

Abstract

The concept of sustainable urban development emphasizes the importance of using innovative ap-proaches in solving environmental problems that manifest themselves in actropogenically altered ecosystems. Urban development management on such a basis includes the development and imple-mentation of innovative projects that are comprehensively focused on achieving long-term growth, improving the quality of life and protecting the environment. To achieve these goals, it is necessary to form a mechanism for managing urban development on an ecoinnovation basis, based on the application of a process approach and the formation of fundamentally new institutional structures. In this context, eco-innovation clusters can become key elements within the framework of the sustain-able urban development management mechanism.
