Botanic gardens for eco-cities of the future Authors Victor Kuzevanov Baikal State University (Irkutsk) Downloads PDF DOI: https://doi.org/10.51461/issn.2309-3072/85.2615 Keywords: Botanic gardens, ecocities, ecosystem services, adaptation and rehabilitation centres, sustainable development, extraterrestrial ecovillages Abstract Botanic gardens of the 21st century are being transformed from traditional repositories of plant biodiversity into strategically important park elements of eco-cities of the future, becoming multifunctional ecosystems that combine high-tech, social practices and anti-crisis functions, principles of the circular economy. They become factors in the urban environment as they contribute to overcoming environmental, climatic and social challenges. Of particular importance is their contribution to the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals-2030, ensuring environmental safety, education and sustainability of cities.
