摘要：The purpose of this study is to create a methodological approach for assessing the development of smart cities. An analysis of existing approaches to assessing the development of smart cities showed that, in general, three main types of such methods can be distinguished. First, these are approaches based on the study of certain components of a smart city. Second, the levels or stages of smart city development. Thirdly, certain narrowly focused areas for studying the development of smart cities (for example, ecology). Based on the systematization of approaches to assessing the development of smart cities, the author's approach is proposed, which consists in combining the study of the components of a smart city and the stages of its development.
