Application of public-private partnership in smart city projects implementation considering environmental management

Abstract

The paper presents the "Smart City" pilot project from the point of view of the benefits of public-private partnership for each participant in the joint activity aimed at optimizing urban infrastructure. The role of the state and the private sector in the transformation of the city into a single "smart" system is defined. Indicators of the state's expectations from the implementation of the pilot project are given. The forms of public-private partnership contracts and the degree of their applicability on the example of a concession agreement are considered. The possibility of realization of public-private partnership in certain areas of concession agreements is examined. The probable future of the Smart City project activities after its completion from the point of view of the development of public-private partnership principles is determined. The strategic importance of the Smart City project implementation and, separately, of the PPP principle for the optimization of public relations is revealed.
