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. In the same time, there are already working information technologies that combine intelligent data analysis with pre-designed algorithms and predictive analytics with using machine learning. If we look around, we can see that already now we live among various automated systems that operate within the urban infrastructure framework. In conclusion noted, that the main goal is that the introduction of smart cities concept should turned into an instrument for the sustainable development of humankind, and not in automated chaos or, even worse, the complete subdual of man to artificial intelligence.
