The sustainability of any city can be assessed by certain indicators. These include the number of housing stock commissioned for a certain period of time, the number of urban population, the number of newly arrived people to live in a particular city, the growth in investment in fixed assets of urban objects and buildings, the growth rate of the physical volume of urban fixed assets, the ecological state of the city, and the level of air pollution, the state of urban infrastructure and housing and communal services, the availability of social facilities per the number of urban population, the situation with solid waste disposal, the level of crime, ensuring all types of city safety, the level of comfort and urban environment
Summary
People have always wanted to live in a sustainable city, the rural population have moved to the urban area, thereby promoting the urbanization process. There are quite a few urbanized cities that no longer geographically accommodate the growing urban population. Sometimes there are even no basic housing and communal services. This violates the ecology of the urban environment. Such urban settlements are difficult to manage by various government agencies. The Geneva Charter on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development considers such a phenomenon to be the main problem of modern large cities [1]
