Abstract: Abstract This chapter is concerned with analysis of the role of high technologies in smart city development. The authors believe that problems related to municipal economy may be resolved by introducing a new smart city model supported by human capital, innovation, and, for greater part, high technologies. Key areas where smart technologies have the potential for considerable improvements in Russia are power supply, urban lightning, information systems, transportation, and Internet of Things. Appropriate solutions have been offered. Also, the authors recommend that special focus should be made on helping city authorities build partnerships in order to understand, prioritize, and address their risks and opportunities in four ways: designing roadmaps enabling private business involvement in urban development processes; introducing high-technology (HiTech) project incubators aimed at developing projects maximizing the resilience impact and ensuring cities and business communities have access to technical, financial, and project preparation expertise; setting up regulatory sand boxes allowing municipal authorities to test new smart technologies prior to implementation; and developing end-to-end technologies offering cross-functional and cross-industry solutions. The Russian Federation is striving to get more involved in (along with other Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) states) in the G20 Global Smart Cities Alliance on Technology Governance. Consequently, the smart cities model is intended to introduce high-technology solutions aimed at achieving the best possible quality of resource management and providing optimal service level, maintaining a sustainable environment for life and business activity of now and future generations.
