By 2050, 70% of the earth’s population will live in a city. Cities are becoming centers of attraction, and people who move there are looking for more comfortable conditions and higher incomes. They are attracted by the greater opportunities for work and leisure. During the warm season, parks offer opportunities for rollerblading, biking, sunbathing under birch trees, or reading a book on a green lawn. In winter, the parks turn into a big ice rink. Courtyards have playgrounds for children, streets and bus stops are washed in the morning, and public transportation runs until 1 a.m.
Cities produce up to 80 percent of the world’s GDP; they pollute, without purifying, 80 percent of the water that enters their system; they turn 40 percent of the food supplied by rural areas into garbage; and still, natural population growth is negative in most large metropolitan areas. The urban environment is an endless space for conflict: motorists are hindered by cyclists, cyclists by pedestrians, pedestrians by trees.
The world’s megacities are implementing various programs to reduce conflict in the urban environment: reducing the number of cars, landscaping, switching to conversational services, and providing bicycles for a small fee. “Conversational services” allow a person to communicate freely and receive a “human” response. Natural language makes it easier to understand, such services increase accessibility to receiving information services.
Landscaping includes work to improve the safety, attractiveness, aesthetic appearance of the environment on a particular site or facility, while complying with all health and safety and environmental standards. Preparation begins with the definition and study of the geodesic structure of the soil, drafting and planning of the area in compliance with environmental standards. Depending on the customer’s requirements and the estimate for the work to be performed, the technology of land improvement provides laying of all elements of engineering structures, installation of irrigation and lighting systems, elimination of relief defects, as well as, if necessary, – asphalting of the areas. After the completion of technical and engineering activities, the planting of trees, flowers, shrubs and lawns in accordance with the terms of the project.
