Preface

This volume contains a selection of edited, refereed, and revised papers, which werepresented at the international conference “Smart and Sustainable Cities—2018(SSC-2018)” entitled “Green technologies and infrastructure to enhance urbanecosystem services”. This multidisciplinary conference was hosted by RUDNUniversity, Moscow, Russia, on May 23–26, 2018. SSC-2018 continued the seriesof international events focused on urbanization, its environmental consequences,and possible solutions: Megacities 2050 (2016) and SUITMA 9 (2017). Comparedto the previous events, SSC-2018 gave the main focus on the interdisciplinaryapproach and complexity of the urban environment. Particular attention was givento technological solutions in smart cities, including big data analysis and theInternet of things. SSC-2018 conference provided an excellent discussion platformfor a broad audience, involving scientific and research community, municipalservices, environmental protection agencies, and stakeholders working in urbanmanagement and greenery. We would like to thank more than 200 participants and90 speakers who contributed with plenary, oral, and poster presentations,roundtables, and field excursions. We wish to express our special gratitude to theauthors who contributed to this proceedings. The volume contains an introductionand 27 research papers, which were selected by the scientific committee withadditional help of external expert reviewers from over 60 submissions. The authorswere asked to consider the reviewers’ comments and have made all necessary editsto improve the quality of the papers. The conference was organized under theumbrella of the International Union of Soil Sciences. The organizational andfinancial support to SSC-2018 was provided by “RUDN University Program5-100” and the “Erasmus+ Jean Monnet project “European traditions in gover-nance, design and environmental management of megacities: search for solutions(EDEMS)”. We would like to express our gratitude to the many people who putessential efforts to ensure this successful conference: keynote speakers, members oforganizing and scientific committees, conveners of sessions and roundtables,reviewers, and technical editors. We wish to express our sincere thanks toDr. Michael Leuchner, Publishing Editor, Earth Sciences, Geography and

v

Environment, and Rajan Muthu, Project Coordinator, for their help andcooperation.

We believe this proceedings will be valuable and informative for researchers,practitioners, and policy-makers, involved in sustainable urban development.
