Abstract

The given research is devoted to comparative analysis of university cities’ development practices and study of best innovative practices in Siberian university cities. The research topic is rather urgent because university campuses are centers of urban environment development that have innovative potential and contribute significantly to the creation of environmentally-friendly infrastructure. The idea that environmental modernization is aimed at the reduction of pollutant emissions, improvement of architectural appearance, utilization of modern construction technologies, urban greening, sanitary purification, public transport improvement, promotion of region-appropriate alternative energy types along with energy-efficient technologies and creation of eco-friendly dwelling areas. The emphasis is put on the fact that innovations are the prerequisite for urban environment and its infrastructure development. We demonstrate that universities function as major drivers of city’s progress through the realization of their innovative projects for the city’s infrastructure. Therefore, universities transform urban surroundings. The research is based on particular cases of innovative development of university cities in Siberia. We conclude that the transition to eco-friendly technologies results in the generation of highly-paid employment, the increase in social welfare, and the improvement of public facilities without exposing future generations to considerable environmental risks.
