Uncritical fostering of social development within the industrial paradigm often referred to as "unlimited growth", has caused so catastrophic effects that they could argumentatively be described as a real ecocide. This is not only reflected in the total pollution of environment, irrecoverable destruction of natural resources and non-renewable energy sources, but the very existence of elementary biological preconditions for survival of human and other life forms on Earth is endangered. Social development, perceived and applied as mere growth, has favored partial interests on behalf of those of the whole. It has also endorsed interests of present over future generations relying on partial, positivist knowledge against holism humanism and wisdom. These effects have contributed to the new knowledge of the necessity for radical change in dominant development paradigm. An alternative has been found by some authors in the concept of "sustainable development". This concept is based on the idea of adjustment of social growth and development to the natural adaptive capacities. The idea of sustainable development should represent a key for human duration in time and with this a concrete form of responsibility towards future generations. This strategy, now within the ecological paradigm, transcendent partiality of industrial paradigm and offers a uniquely new form for the rationalization of development. At the same time this strategy functions as a new form of ethics (biocentric instead of anthropocentric one) and as a new model for wisdom of living. The concept of sustainable development is also the only operative way for radical and permanent elimination of the deepest causes of ecological crises instead of periodical and partial healing of its consequences.

The article considers the features of the development of modern cities from the point of view of the ecological approach. The main focus is on approaches within the framework of the implementation of sustainable development. Sustainable development is a new concept of scientific development, and sustainable development requires us to change not only the concept of economic development, but also the concept of social development. The development of the city as a social development and economic development is an important embodiment of the process of sustainable development, but also in the pursuit of the concept of innovation. The paper analyzes domestic and foreign literature within the framework of the research topic, as well as uses comparative, comparative and analytical methods. The author examines the main problems of city construction from the perspective of an ecological approach, based on the basic principles of ecological urban planning, the main content and ecological function of zoning, and also examines the ecological city and its relationship with sustainable development. Ecological cities are a necessary condition for the sustainable development of society. In the last few thousand years, the development of society has been based on the price of sacrificing the environment, where the main role belongs to cities as the core of human society. This is a rather negative development scenario that does not provide for long-term sustainability, as the potential of the environment is increasingly depleted. The current situation is becoming threatening, and if it is not changed, not only the survival and development of future generations will be under serious threat, but also modern man will be in a situation on the verge of survival. Thus, the process of building an ecological city will reverse this negative situation and will not only contribute to the provision of conditions for the normal life of the existing civilization, but also will protect future generations of people, that is, will contribute to sustainable social development. In turn, the sustainable development of society is to ensure the construction of an ecological city, and an integrated approach to this problem will allow achieving the harmonious development of ecological cities.

Since the Second World War, what has been called the development economics, which made the developed countries seek to achieve this development and at all levels economically, politically, socially and humanly, these countries sought to achieve all this and already reached what they wanted without taking into account this nature or the environment and what will happen? And what will happen to future generations? The concept of sustainable development emerged at the end of the last decade of the twentieth century. This concept was similar to the previous developmental concepts. It is concerned with satisfying the needs of the present and achieving social welfare, but not at the expense of future generations. Through the conservation of all natural resources, taking into account the environment that must be maintained and integrated into the policies of economic and social development from here emerged the importance of sustainable development, which takes into account the economy and Leah and the community.

Sustainable development is a pervasive philosophy that every participant in the global economy (including consumers and government) must agree with if today’s needs are to be met without risking the ability of future generations to meet their own. According to this premise, the idea of sustainable development cannot be implemented by a single enterprise (or even the entire business community) in isolation. In their activities, business entities wanting to apply the philosophy of the balanced use of all resources necessary in the production process should take into account the assumptions included in the seventeen priority goals of sustainable development in the decision-making process. This article shows how enterprises can both achieve business goals and focus on environmental protection through the implementation of energy investments. However, it also shows that the mere awareness of the need to implement energy investments in their organizations is not sufficient to achieve these goals, and the level of investments in this respect among small and medium-sized enterprises is moderate.

The role of higher educational institutions (HEIs) in sustainable regional development is becoming a subject of attention of researchers and policymakers. Apart from clear inputs such as sustainable education and promotion of renewable energy sources, HEIs can act as partners and consultancies for the local authorities helping them to embark on the path of sustainable economic and social growth. Our paper looks into the role of higher education in sustainable development of regions. We identify HEIs as the hubs of knowledge and know-how spill-overs as well as active players in industry-university connection. Our results confirm the importance of higher education in promoting the decarbonization of economy, helping the transition to the renewables and the creation of wider social acceptance of sustainable development.

Contemporary Context

Sustainable development refers to an economic, environmental, and social development aspect that meets the demands of the contemporary context and does not prevent future generations from fulfilling their requirements. In this perspective, businesses play an imperative role. However, studies reveal that the progress towards sustainable development has been slow, indicating the need for more concrete guidance that would allow businesses to act strategically and successfully in a sustainable way. There are three distinct, but complementary, dimensions of strategic management as viewed from the perspective of sustainability in order to encourage the integration of sustainability issues into corporate activities and strategies. This chapter looks through various aspects of sustainability towards making a sustainable organization through a vertical literature review. This theoretical discussion contributes to existing research to find relationships between strategic management and sustainable development and tries to provide a schema for further empirical research.

The society of the 21st century is permeated by advances and diffusion of technologies that generate a way of life highly de-pendent on natural resources. This dependence requires a deep awareness of the importance of geodiversity and the education of the new generations and this is the way by which it will be possible to guarantee sustainable development. Geoparks are a new form of territorial management, whose characteristics are economic and social development based on the preservation and enhancement of geological and cultural heritage. This paper presents a discussion that involves this aspect in the relationship between geoparks and Geosciences teaching, divided into three parts: a discussion about the meaning of geoparks, followed by an analysis of the relationship between field work and geoscience teaching, and finally , it should be highlighted that geoparks can be excellent areas for field activities, which are essential to strengthen the understanding of geodiversity components and processes, without which the sensitization and perception of geoscientific concepts are limited. Geoparks can meet the demands of these areas for the teaching of geosciences in basic education.
