  • Organizing Bicycle Traffic in Moscow to Reduce Air Pollutant Concentrations
    E3S Web of Conferences 164, 04007 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf /202016404007 TPACEE-2019 Organizing bicycle traffic in Moscow to reduce air pollutant concentrations Igor Pryadko1,* 1 Moscow State University of Civil Engineering, 129337, 26 Yaroslavskoye sh., Moscow, Russia Abstract. The objective of this article is to assess the prospects for development of cycling as a mode of transport in major cities in Russia and worldwide. Towards this end, the author addresses bicycle traffic organization patterns in the cities of Europe, South Eastern Asia and South America. The methods, employed in this research project, include sociological data collection, or the polling of urban residents (residents of the Russian capital), the retrospective analysis of sources, including news articles, the comparative historical method and forecasting. In the article, the impact produced on the urban environment, namely, on the surface layers of the urban atmosphere, by the motor traffic is compared with the one produced by the bicycle traffic. The mission of this research project is to analyze development of cycling network routes, parking lots, and accompanying small architectural forms in Moscow. The author employs methods of environmental monitoring to assess the impact produced by the motor transport on the environmental situation in the city. The conclusion is that there is a need to develop the urban walking infrastructure, to expand the urban cycling network, and to convert to the biosphere compatible urban transport. 1 Introduction More often than not urban planners and architects face the challenge of limiting pollutant emissions caused by human economic activities and designing a clean and biosphere compatible urban space.

  • Franco-Russian Decentralized Cooperation Year 2021
    1 19 March 2021 The French and Russian Governments have decided to make 2021 a “Franco-Russian Decentralized Cooperation Year”. The aim of this Year is to bring a new perspective in each country on the other, to give new impetus between French and Russian cities and regions, to strengthen ties between French and Russian citizens, and to highlight the assets and diversity of our respective territories. The Franco-Russian Decentralized Cooperation Year will last throughout 2021 and end with the fifth “Franco-Russian meeting of local government bodies” in Russia (the last one took place in Nice in 2012). In the meantime, a number of events will take place in various parts of France and Russia, bearing the Year’s “label”. They will be organized either by local authorities themselves or by other local stakeholders, which may work with local government bodies. They may concern various fields, such as linguistic cooperation, exchanges for young people, sport, businesses, tourism, sustainable development, and cooperation between institutions. This document lists all the events held in the framework of the Franco-Russian Year. Published at the official launch of the Year on 19 March, it may later be updated with further initiatives. 2 19 March 2021 Events by theme: Theme: partnerships and twinning programmes .............................................................................................................................................................................. 4 Theme: Academic cooperation and research ................................................................................................................................................................................

  • Community Resilience and Vulnerability to Disasters: Qualitative Models and Megacities – a Comparison with Small Towns BORIS PORFIRIEV*
    research paper Community resilience and vulnerability to disasters: Qualitative models and megacities – a comparison with small towns BORIS PORFIRIEV* Risk and Crisis Research Center at the Institute of Economics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Novocheriomushkinskaia, 42a 117418 Moscow, Russia This paper contrasts the resilience to disasters of megacities with small towns, using vulnerability as a key variable. As an instrument of this comparison a formal model of the communities’ vulnerability, further deconstructed into a set of specific modules, is developed and used. It is argued that the megacities’ high resilience capacity in the main ensures only a debilitating (although undoubtedly major) effect on them by disaster agents. Meanwhile, the impact on the small towns is often disastrous and sometimes turns into a real catastrophe with some communities totally devastated. However, this observation does not preclude some notable exceptions. To corroborate and highlight the key findings above, empirical data from the Russian experience of the late twentieth to early twenty-first centuries are provided, supplemented by some international illustrations.
