Megapolis as a Symbiosis of Socio-Economic Ecosystems: The Role of Collaboration

Abstract

In recent years, smart and ecological urbanism and transformations into the new models of city making have become a global mainstream. These are models of the smart city, the eco-city, and the eco-megacity. The article proposes a conceptual approach to the formation of the eco-megacity as a qualitatively new phenomenon in the post-industrial economy. The prerequisites for the transformation of a megapolis into an eco-megacity have been analyzed. The key characteristics of the new phenomenon have been revealed. The role of collaboration as the main factor in increasing the efficiency of interaction processes between ecosystem actors and between ecosystems themselves has been presented. The relationship of the formed ecosystem approaches and the groups of actors during implementation of an institutional project in the megapolis have been determined. It allows for the transformation of a megapolis into an eco-megacity. The ant colony optimization algorithm for studying the symbiosis of socio-economic ecosystems in the megapolis has been proposed. The authors have attempted to contribute to the development of theoretical and methodological aspects of the emerging eco-megacity concept as a new phenomenon of the modern economy.

Imitating the Human Resources Migration among Megapolises «Social Code»

“…Накопление человеческого капитала мегарегионом происходит благодаря удержанию людей, чей потенциал до конца реализован. В то же время, более крупные системы способны перетягивать к себе тех граждан, чья ценность до конца не раскрыта [12]. Пример переходов приведен на рисунке 1.…”

“…Процесс иммиграции в более крупный населенный пункт обусловлен потребностью в развитии индивидуума как в личном плане, так и финансовом. Улучшение своего социально-экономического положения в системе является качеством безусловно присущим каждому элементу такой социальноэкономической системы [12]. С другой стороны, сам мегаполис должен заботиться о равновесии развития и принятии только полезных для своего развития новых элементов.…”

Structure and Properties Improvement by Recipe Factors of Geopolymer Basalt Fiber Reinforced Concrete for Building Enclosing Structures

“…Construction and building technologies are the most studied and dynamically developing areas throughout the world. At the same time, such an applied engineering knowledge as construction science is impossible without conducting preliminary fundamental research aimed at finding the most useful and promising properties of various raw materials and sources that can become for buildings and structures a reliable bastion of their durability in the future [1]. In this regard, the main task of materials scientists involved in the building construction is a new recipe of building materials design, the study and development of 2 of 21 the properties of existing materials, as well as proposals for the rationalization of currently known materials [2,3].…”
