Methodical aspects of assessing the impact of implementation stages of smart city projects on the social and economic impacts

Abstract

The study is devoted to solving the infrastructural problems of cities as one of the most serious challenges of modern urban development. Many cities are faced with aging infrastructure, which leads to frequent breakdowns, interruptions in the supply of water, electricity and other public services. These challenges complicate sustainable urban development and require an integrated approach that includes infrastructure modernization, implementation of innovative solutions, and active public participation in planning the urban environment. It has been established that certain aspects of the development of "smart" cities, such as the integration of sustainability into urban systems, the development of sustainable infrastructure and the use of technologies such as the Internet of Things and big data, should be thoroughly explored in the context of the recovery of Ukraine. It was determined that these areas are key to creating modern, smart cities that will be sustainable and environmentally sustainable. It is justified that by focusing on these aspects, Ukraine can develop an urban environment that effectively responds to both current needs and future challenges. The purpose of the article is to determine the effects of the implementation of smart city projects in connection with the stages of their implementation. It was determined that the implementation of the "smart city" concept is a continuous process that includes a number of elements that must be taken into account in the process of organization. It has been established that the ecosystem itself needs constant revision of conditions taking into account the current state and priorities, and this is one of the main requirements for successful implementation. It was determined that each city independently chooses and determines the directions of its smart development, depending on the priority tasks. For some cities, security issues are a priority, for others, improving the operation of public transport, and for others, reducing energy consumption in residential buildings. The analyzed smart city model is presented in the form of a basic leader city that implements innovative technologies and follower cities that adapt these technologies taking into account their specific needs and conditions. It has been established that such a model of a smart city, where there is a main leader city and follower cities, has a significant impact on the development of innovations, contributing to their acceleration, diffusion and improvement.
