Main Article Content
Abstract
The article examines case studies of Ukrainian cities in developing smart city management concepts focused on sustainable development and the reintegration of veterans into civil society. It outlines the characteristics of smart cities based on indicators proposed by experts, including Smart Governance, Smart Communication and Decision-Making, Smart Administrative Services, Smart Utilities, Smart Transportation, Smart Urban Planning, Smart Healthcare and Education, Smart Energy, and Smart Tourism.
The budgets of urban territorial communities such as Vinnytsia UTC, Lutsk UTC, Kyiv, Lviv UTC, Dnipro UTC, Kharkiv UTC, and Chernivtsi UTC are presented. A step-by-step development plan for smart cities is provided, along with an assessment of city maturity levels in achieving "smartization." The article includes examples of sustainability criteria and indicators for Lutsk Urban Territorial Community based on ISO 37123. The use of blockchain technology is proposed to enhance urban smartization and foster development.
