Abstract

Substantiates the belief that the impact greening production useful in industrial regions, particularly in Kryvyi Rih, introduce European, including Polish experience intelligent (reasonable) specialization that takes into account the specificity of resources of the region and is based on the introduction of the latest smart technologies.
Highlights
The socio-economic situation in Ukraine is characterized by a complicated environmental legacy and hostilities in the East (2014-2020), which significantly hamper the country’s sustainable economic development
Increasing concentrations of harmful substances in the atmosphere, destruction of forests, the disappearance of many species of fauna and flora, disturbance of ecosystems accompany the technogenic activity of the Ukrainian industrial complex and hostilities in the Donetsk industrial region
The technological equipment of the country’s great industrial enterprises is out of date, which does not meet the European environmental safety standards. This is especially true for large industrial regions, one of which is the Kryvyi Rih Iron and Metallurgical Region, one of the most powerful in Europe, producing about 80% of iron ore and 20% of metal, but with gross emissions of significant pollutants Kryvyi Rih is one of the first in Ukraine [1]
Summary
The socio-economic situation in Ukraine is characterized by a complicated environmental legacy and hostilities in the East (2014-2020), which significantly hamper the country’s sustainable economic development. Expert in geological and environmental studies GS “Environmental Council Kryvorizhzhya” said, Krivyi Rih and the entire region are under excessive environmental impact due to the multifaceted industrial areas that have a significant negative impact on the natural environment and pollute atmospheric air, groundwater, surface water, and soil. It results in human-made changes to natural landscapes, increasing the dose load on the population Rodney radionuclides, deteriorating health, and social indices [2]. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the features of the implementation of the sustainable development strategy in the industrial regions of Ukraine, in particular in the Kryvyi Rih industrial region and to substantiate the prospects and opportunities for the introduction of new strategies, namely smart specialization as a modern dominant of sustainable development
