Experimental Modeling of Smart City Development Process Based on Smart City Adaptive Concept Model

Abstract

Modern cities are now becoming intellectual entities in a state of competition for economic, financial, intellectual and human resources (Abosaq in Int J Adv Comput Sci Appl 10:177–185, 2019). Each of them seeks to build a behavioral model that allows you to withstand economic and technological competition most efficiently with optimal resource costs, take leadership positions on a national and possibly global scale, and become a “Smart City.” According to experts of the consulting company McKinsey, by 2020 there will be about 600 Smart Cities in the world, in another five years they will generate almost two-thirds of world GDP (McKinsey Global Institute 2018). The growing role of progressive municipal economic systems in the development of the world economy is evident. Projects on the digitalization of urban economy and infrastructure in the concept of “Smart City” are actively implemented in many countries and regions of the world (Anthopoulos et al. in Int J Electron Govern Res 12(2):77–93, 2016), their focus is related to the automation and intellectualization of the functioning of the urban economy (Dvinsky et al. in J Siberian Federal Univ Human Social Sci 10(12):1869–1875, 2017), infrastructure facilities in order to increase the efficiency and productivity of the exploitation of urban assets, increase their life cycle, increase the level of economic activity, develop new markets and attract investment. The activity in this direction is mainly due to the new paradigm of urban development, which is aimed at sustainable socio-economic development, within the framework of which the city should be as intellectualized as possible (Hämäläinen in Contrib Manage Sci 63–86, 2020). The purpose of the research is to systematize methodological approaches to the use of the adaptive concept of “Smart City” in the implementation of projects for the development of municipalities in Russia. The research methodology is based on methods of theoretical generalization and systematization, which made it possible to structure provisions that reflect the modern vision of methodological approaches in the field of application of adaptive concepts and process models “Smart City.” As a result, methodological approaches to the development of the adaptive concept of “Smart City” have been formed, allowing for the integrated and effective management of urban development based on the introduction of digital platforms, systems and services in their optimal and balanced combination.
