摘要

This paper assesses the creation of convenient, safe and progressive cities, as one of the most effective ways in the struggle for human capital. The authors emphasize that the key principle of the project "Smart City" - focus on the person, the inhabitant, as a metropolis, and a small town. The goal of the "Smart City" is determined not in total digital transformation and process automation, but in comprehensively improving the efficiency of city management and the formation of high-quality and affordable urban infrastructure. The article discusses the implementation of the "smart city" concept, which implies a wide use of information and telecommunication technologies, innovative technological solutions, digital platforms, and other IT infrastructure objects, for the development and implementation of which will require significant financial investments. The authors pay attention to the lack of sufficient funding from public authorities, which leads to an objective need to attract private funds, and is possible only if there are appropriate legal instruments that are understandable to investors.
