Analysis of the urban planning model "Smart city"

  The aim of the work is to analyze the "Smart City" model, including reasons of its development; the concept development; the transition of the "Smart City" model to the Smart City Project in Russia; identify the Project content.

   Methodology: The urban planning model "Smart City" is one of the ways to improve the efficiency of territory management in large cities. Research is based on the collection and analysis of the appropriate normative, theoretical and practical documents.

   Research findings: In practice and within the framework of Russian legal regulation, this model is determined by the Smart City Project of the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation. The Project concepts of digitalization do not fully meet the need for the development of a large city. On the one hand, the project concerns the sphere of advertising high-tech goods and services, and on the other, it is a new urban development model. The problem lies in the duality of the definition of the smart city concept and urban planning technologies. Practical implications: The proposed definition of the Smart City Project is a set of ideas and approaches allowing to generate a strategy of urban development based on the parameters of the urban environment, including the prediction of changes in these parameters. In this case, the Project considers the largest number of quality parameters of the urban environment, using the economy analysis, sociological and other data. Strictly technical re-equipment of urban infrastructure is included in the Project.
