Implementation of Sustainable Urban Development through Project Management

Abstract

The article discusses the issues of models, tools and approaches to the smart cities subject area, which served as the basis for the standardization of the smart cities concept. Familiarity with these issues allows assess and understand the state of science in this field, which covers various aspects of the design, organization and operation of a smart city. As a result, the article gives presentation of different approach to smart cities creation. The authors urge to study in more detail certain aspects of the smart cities information technologies: digital economy, urban operating system, green energy, standards for transport movement, urban ecology. The article noted that today analysts are still discussing many proposed models and possible ways of transition to Smart City. The role of the Internet platforms in Smart Cities and various approaches to the implementation of the Smart City platforms themselves are shown. The paper compares various international approaches for smart cities creation and suggests that using project management methodologies is the best way for that goal. Project management allows maintain a balance between the total control of urban infrastructure and the right of residents for privacy. Meanwhile, many of us already live in a world of automated systems that manage urban infrastructure. The study emphasized ready-made information solutions exist that analyze large amounts of data using analytical forecasts and machine learning algorithms. In conclusion, it is noted that the main goal is that the introduction of the concept of smart cities should become a tool for the sustainable development of humankind while preserving the possibilities of freedom of choice and the inviolability of private life for a person, not transfer these functions to artificial intelligence.
