Abstract

The concept of urban development is becoming a central idea of urban development in the active form of the information society. Accelerating digital transformation processes, the development of information and communication technologies will replace a significant number of processes of the urban environment, urban management, living conditions, and the use of urban services. The paper aims to analyze the world experience of smart city growth, approaches to assessing and ranking cities according to the degree of development of components that define the city as “smart”, as well as taking into account such experience in building the smart city development strategies in Ukraine. An analysis of world experience has indicated that the main factor in ensuring the success of US cities as “cities of the future” is considered by most researchers to be information and communication technologies. The study considers the first attempt to estimate and build a ranking list of smart cities. Based on which invention processes, best practices, and implementation measures will contribute to their further development. IMD and the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) have suggested the Global Smart City Index (SCI), which is designed to measure a balanced strategy to the economic and technological aspects of smart cities and more humanitarian dimensions of urban life. The study presents an overview of the central segments of SCI, the main aspects of the survey methodology in its formation, the division of cities into groups for the development of components of a Smart City.
