Moscow International Forum for Innovative Development Open Innovations started which in 2020 is being held completely online. One of the first sessions of the forum was the discussion Digital City and Smart Development. How the urban environment will change thanks to new urban technologies in which the Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing and Communal Services Maxim Yegorov took part.The panelists touched upon the topic of introducing new solutions into the urban environment and improving its comfort discussed how technologies are changing the life of cities and citizens as well as the future of smart cities in Russia and the role that business plays in them.Maxim Egorov spoke about the work of the Ministry of Construction in terms of creating conditions for creating a comfortable urban environment as well as for introducing smart technologies into city management.The urban environment includes literally everything that surrounds us from utilities to public transport stops. All of these elements must be comfortable. Nevertheless the environment itself is no longer only in the construction of facilities but also in the digitalization of the urban economy. Thanks to such decisions cities become more convenient and safer as well as more responsive - thus residents can take a direct part in their transformation and influence decisions. Therefore our task as a government body is to help stimulate and remove barriers in the implementation of the latest technologies as well as scale and standardize effective solutions said Maxim Egorov.Thus according to the Smart City standard digital platforms are being created in the regions to involve citizens in decision-making processes for the development of cities. In more than half of the regions events are underway to create digital platforms for engaging citizens primarily for conducting rating voting in 16 regions these platforms are already fully prepared. A total of 1.3 million people have already taken part in online events.For better management of the city in many regions Digital twins are being created which allow synchronizing and linking together all internal structures - water supply electrification gas supply road congestion health services which accelerate the exchange of information between urban structures. At the same time Regional Governance Centers SDGs enable big data to be used for decision-making at different levels.Energy-efficient technologies and control systems for organizing street lighting can significantly reduce costs freeing up resources for other projects and the introduction of systems for automatic photo and video recording of traffic violations violations in courtyards makes the city safer.
