Presented is the research in effectiveness of introduction of elements of the Smart City concept in the municipalities of the Sverdlovsk region. It is established that the cities of the Sverdlovsk region participating in the implementation of the “Smart City” concept initially use different approaches in the field of digitalization of urban spaces; and most of the measures envisaged at the first stage of the implementation of road maps are mainly point-based, selective digitalization and intellectualization of individual services and infrastructure elements. As a result of the analysis of the managerial and social efficiency of the introduction of “smart” technologies in the cities of the Sverdlovsk region, the author of the work identified a list of problems, in particular: 1) the diverse nature of the activities of municipalities due to the lack of mandatory regional standards; 2) low personnel potential of local self-government bodies in the implementation of the Smart City project; 3) low level of public participation in the development and implementation of the introduction of smart technologies in the urban environment; 4) insufficient level of financing of municipal Smart City projects; 5) ignoring by municipalities the best cases for the introduction of “smart” technologies; 6) lack of involvement of educational and scientific organizations in the design of “smart” technologies for managing urban processes. One of the basic problems of introducing elements of the Smart City concept in the municipalities of the Sverdlovsk Region is the low level of awareness and involvement of the local community in choosing priorities for the digital transformation of urban management. In conclusion, the authors propose a unified model of a smart city based on the principle of selecting key elements.
Key words: smart city, local government, municipal management, efficiency.
