One of the key defining features of humanity is urbanization – the progressive shift of people from rural to urban areas. This process is closely linked with overall economic development as well as technological change. As of now, almost 75 percent of global economic production takes place in urban areas. Rapid urban growth unavoidably leads to serious environmental challenges, such as various forms of pollution, vulnerabilities to natural events and climate change impacts. Unsustainable and negative outcomes of current urban economies have become more visible and have gained more attention in recent decades.
At NRD Companies, we develop environmental management information systems that are designed to identify and promote the progress of sustainable environmental management. We take into account the technical dependencies between environmental phenomena from different fields to assist the responsible experts and authorities in the handling of complex environment-related issues, noting important coordination issues.
