The present study is relevant in the context of the formation of the digital management concept Smart City 3.0 in the context of sustainable green development goals. These goals are to be achieved by combining digitalisation technologies with the principles of environmental sustainability. The purpose of the study is to determine the conditions for the formation of a digital concept of city management 3.0 in the context of sustainable development goals. Research objectives: 1) to study the concept of the digital concept of city management or Smart City and the conditions for its implementation; 2) to reveal the concept of Smart City 3.0 development in the context of foreign experience; 3) to reveal the essence and significance of the concept of environmental sustainability of smart Smart City 3.0 and the promotion of sustainable green development. The research methodology is a systematic, cross-cultural, interdisciplinary approach to understanding the complex impact of digital technologies on all aspects of sustainable development in digital green smart cities 3.0, in particular on the economic, social and environmental dimensions. It allows for the interaction between digital innovations and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be considered in a single structure. The Smart City 3.0 concept views the city as an integrated ecosystem. This approach ensures efficient infrastructure management and also helps to reduce environmental impact, improve the quality of life of citizens, and engage them in decision-making. The article examines the pivotal elements of the Smart City 3.0 concept, encompassing the deployment of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), big data and automated systems to enhance the urban environment. It has been demonstrated that the implementation of these technologies can result in a notable reduction in energy consumption, the optimisation of traffic flows, a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, and an enhancement of the environmental sustainability of the city. The study analyses the global exemplars of digital urban management, identifies opportunities and challenges for the development of Ukrainian cities in the direction of smart and green management, and offers recommendations for their adaptation based on global experience.
