How to develop sustainable modern urban agglomerations according to the green smart city model with the application of Industry 4.0 technologies, including Big Data and artificial intelligence technologies, and in accordance with the concept of sustainable economic development, the principles of green economic transformation, circular economy, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, development of urban parks and other green areas, self-sufficiency in energy and food production, environmental and climate social responsibility, etc.?

An important attribute of a modern agglomeration developed in accordance with the green smart city model is also the consideration of low greenhouse gas emissions, minimization of energy and resource consumption, minimization of the agglomeration's negative impact on the environment, on the surrounding biosphere and climate. Accordingly, agglomerations developed according to the green smart city should also become increasingly low-emission, energy-intensive and more neutral to the planet's biosphere and climate.

Urban development taking place according to the green smart city concept should also take into account the sustainable economic development of the urban agglomeration, which takes into account the principles of green economic transformation, the circular economy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and maximizing the issue of self-sufficiency in energy and food production. In terms of achieving energy self-sufficiency, the development of renewable and emission-free energy sources can be helpful. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions can be achieved not only through the development of renewable and zero-emission energy sources, but also by insulating the facades of existing buildings to reduce energy intensity, and through the development of means of transportation within the framework of public urban transportation, taking into account electromobility and hydrogen-powered transportation. On the other hand, achieving self-sufficiency in food production can be helped by vertical vegetable and fruit crops created in abandoned office buildings and factory halls, as well as in new multi-story buildings created specifically for this purpose.

In addition to this, an important issue in achieving zero-carbon cities is to take into account the carbon footprint of not only the built housing blocks, office buildings, market halls, shopping centers, factory halls, public administration and public service buildings, etc., but also the greenhouse gas emissions emitted during the construction of the said housing developments, buildings, office buildings, halls, etc. As a result, there will probably be more than once issues to be resolved regarding the choice of less-emitting options, in which one will have to choose either to revitalize, insulate the exterior façade, install photovoltaic panels, etc. on existing buildings, or rather to demolish them and build new ones in their place, in which more modern construction, energy and material technologies, etc. will be used, ensuring greater durability, lower emissions and energy efficiency or even zero-energy efficiency of the new buildings.

In order to reduce the negative impact of urban agglomeration on the biosphere, it is essential to build wastewater treatment plants for rivers leaving the cities, and to establish water purification systems for ponds, lakes and other water bodies located in the city area or its suburbs. In order to reduce emissions, improve air quality, increase humidity and reduce air temperature, it is essential to create additional urban parks and other green areas. In the situation of limited space that can be allocated for the creation of additional green areas, urban parks, flower meadows, etc., an optional solution is the creation of many so-called pocket parks, i.e. parks and other green areas occupying small areas, which were created after removing parts of previously too extensive created concrete sidewalks, asphalt roadways, paved with concrete cubes squares, etc.

In view of the above, sustainable, modern urban agglomerations developed according to the green smart city model with the application of Industry 4.0 technologies, including Big Data and artificial intelligence technologies, should also be developed in accordance with the concept of sustainable economic development, the principles of green economy transformation, circular economy, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, development of urban parks and other green areas, self-sufficiency in energy and food production, environmental and climate social responsibility, etc.

Key aspects of the negative effects of the progressive process of global warming and the associated necessary acceleration of the processes of green transformation of the economy in order to decarbonize the economy, slow down the process of global warming, protect the climate, biosphere and biodiversity of the planet's natural ecosystems I described in the article:
