URBECO - Sustainable urban development and mitigation of adverse impacts of climate change to quality of life and to the environment in cities

At the beginning of the 21st century, the cities represent an area of the most severe conflicts between the nature and civilisation with a broad spectrum of environmental and socio-pathological phenomena. However, their further growth can be expected. Urban population is dominant also in Slovakia with a 56.5% share in the total population (the share of urban population in Europe is more than 80%). The page you have just opened addresses various aspects of sustainable urban development.

The project is financed within the framework of the LIFE III – environment project and co-financed by the Ministry of the Environment of the Slovak Republic.
