Abstract
Creating smart cities in Ukraine is a pressing issue given the increasing necessity to integrate innovative methods to enhance the quality of living and establish sustainable urban development. The aim of this study was to assess feasibility of integrating smart city concepts in Ukraine, based on experience of some leading cities worldwide, with a view to improving quality of living. The study findings confirm that smart cities play a crucial role in digital transformation and are a significant aspect of contemporary urban developments. Through examining scientific publications and conducting qualitative interviews with urbanism, economics, and innovation experts, this research has identified the prospects for smart cities in both Ukraine and the global context, thereby offering a neutral perspective on the current state and future prospects of smart cities. Important information about city residents’ attitudes and expectations toward smart cities was collected through questionnaires and surveys. Big data analysis identified trends and patterns in the development of smart cities using specific data and statistics. Economic models were utilized to estimate the financial impact of implementing smart city concepts and their effects on urban community budgets. These research methods aided in comprehending crucial facets of smart cities and their influence on residents’ quality of life. The results of the study may be useful for representatives of city governments implementing initiatives aimed at strengthening the innovation potential of cities and improving the quality of life of citizens
