Evaluation of the Smart City Model from the Position of Sustainable Development of Territories

The relevance of the article is reinforced by the rapid development of smart cities, which, in turn, requires the development of a comprehensive strategy for evaluating this city management model. Considering the lack of a single approach to smart grid assessment in foreign practice, the actual lack of widespread use of monitoring tools in Ukraine, the author focuses on the systematization of the main approaches to smart city assessment, covering those inherent in measuring sustainable development as such, as well as those used in the context of the smart city. In addition to considering the features of certain evaluation indicators and practical cases, the author's classification of indicators is provided, a number of principles of human-centric and sustainable smart city evaluation are proposed. Recommendations for the development of a smart city evaluation system in Ukraine, as a system of key components, are provided. Given that the smart city model is promising for the recovery of Ukraine, the obtained results are appropriate for use in the process of developing strategies for the recovery of cities.
