| Title | In The Labyrinths Of The "Sustainable City" Concepts: The Meta-Analysis Of Contemporary Studies |

| Abstract | In the paper, the author conducts a critical analysis of the main discourses of sustainable cities, such as the "ecocity", "compact city", "low-carbon city", "green city", "sustainable city", and "smart city", based on the materials of meta-analysis of Russian and foreign academic publications. It is concluded that each of these concepts reflects a certain degree of socio-economic development of society, and the changing needs of its citizens. Despite the fact that there is no consensus among scientists on the conceptualization of these forms of urban sustainable development, different definitions of environmentally sustainable cities are not mutually exclusive. The author has established that the concepts of "eco-city", "sustainable city" and "green city" are symmetrical "umbrella-type" concepts. Narrower concepts such as "low-carbon city", "smart city" are concentrated on some individual dominant discourse of stability. At the same time, all the metaphors of urban sustainable development are "ideal types", and they are not lacking limitations, therefore the author concludes that it is more correct to comprehend the city in terms of "transition" to sustainability. |
