SMART URBAN PLANNING: MODERN TECHNOLOGIES FOR ENSURING SUSTAINABLE TERRITORIAL DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The paper considers issues in improving the methodological foundations of urban planning based on the requirements of "smart" planning and managing sustainable development of territories. The concepts of “smart urban planning”, “urban planning information platform”, “digital twin” of a territory and “cyber physical urban development system” are defined. A brief review of the world experience in adopting "smart" technologies for urban development is given. The paper sets out long-term problems associated with theoretical and practical development in the field. Finally, the authors propose the concept of "smart urban planning", aimed at providing comfortable and safe living conditions. It includes fundamental principles of goal-setting, planning and adopting sustainable territorial development using information and communication technologies; and a theoretical model of the urban planning information platform based on automation methods, adaptation conditions, as well as describing the “digital twin” layers of an urban development object.
