SMART CITY FINANSING: OPPORTUNITIES AND PROSPECTS

Abstract

The development of smart cities is a global trend. However, the implementation of smart projects requires significant resources. In global practice, cities are searching for and developing new mechanisms to attract funds. The purpose of this article is to study and systematize the financial opportunities for implementing the concept of successful smart city functioning. The article uses the method of systemic-structural analysis to systematize the entire set of financial opportunities for the implementation of smart city projects. A comparative analysis of the implementation of various projects has made it possible to illustrate the successful experience of smart cities. The main result of the article is the proposed system of financial resources for a smart city. This system is important both in a theoretical and practical context. It can be useful both in the practice of individual cities and for further research in this area.
