IoT World Summit Russia 2018 experts report on the specifics of smart cities establishment in Russia
On October 1-2, experts of the rating agency SGM and the "Higher School of Economics" will share their vision of the development of Smart City technologies at the World Digital Summit on the Internet of Things in Kazan.
Director of the Institute for Regional Studies and Urban Planning at the Higher School of Economics Irina Ilina said that a city in which problems are solved with the help of modern technologies and with the active participation of the entire population and municipal authorities can be called "Smart".
Director-General of SGM agency Elena Dolgikh said that there are three types of smart cities in Russia. The first include those cities in which individual digital city systems are implemented, but a unified strategy for the development of such systems has not yet been worked out. The second stage of development of a smart city is the stage of integration of disparate intellectual systems of city management into a single managed system, due to which a synergetic effect is achieved.
New cities can be singled out into a separate group, where smart principles of organizing the urban environment are taken into account at the design and construction stage. The city of Innopolis in Tatarstan and Innograd Skolkovo are among such examples of cities in Russia.
