A sustainable city must allow long-term development without compromise for future generations. The aim of the study is to draw attention to taking adequate measures in the development of such urban development plans that contain elements of Smart city. Methods for document analysis, comparative analysis of plans and requirements for building a smart city were used. The concept of a sustainable city requires balancing goals for social, economic, environmental and managerial factors.

Summary

Introduction

The research of the impact of the urban environment and the overcrowding of cities in the new world is a priority of the World Health Organization (WHO), which considers the restoration of urban contact with nature as a necessary condition for improving the health of the population [1]. Creating modern policies to solve social, a technological and environmental problems is the main challenge for building and managing smart cities. They have deal simultaneously with economic development, urbanization and the creation of public services, poverty reduction, environmental protection, the socialization of cultural and historical heritage. To activate this "mechanism" it is necessary to unite societies (citizens), institutions, academia, non-governmental sector and business around the great opportunities of new technologies to build a long-term vision for sustainable development of modern cities.
