Abstract :

In the CIS region, smart cities and communities (SCC) are currently gaining popularity as an approach to socio-economic development. The concept does not only cover the development of sustainable smart cities, but also smart villages and smart regions as a whole. This approach is a modern trend that must be analysed, developed and complemented. In this regard, ITU can actively assist ITU Member States of the region in developing legal and regulatory frameworks, creating necessary infrastructure, introducing modern services and applications in different aspects of SCCs (education, healthcare, tourism, transport, energy, security, the environment, etc.) and raising the digital literacy of the population, business and authorities in terms of SCCs.
