“…Firmino and Duarte (2016) contend that even though ICTs can be useful in smart cities, there are circumstances in which these technologies enable surveillance and control in public areas and thereby undermine the usefulness of urban public spaces. Paulin (2016) discusses the extent to which the use of ICTs permits the government of a smart city to steer and control systems and what this ability means for what he calls "sustainable governance evolution." After pointing to the many opportunities provided by ICTs to conduct smart urban policy, Kourtit et al (2017) demonstrate how these technologies have actually been used to effectively manage smartphone data systems.…”

We exploit the public good attributes of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and theoretically analyze an aggregate economy of two smart cities in which ICTs are provided in either a decentralized or a centralized manner. We first determine the efficient ICT levels that maximize the aggregate surplus from the provision of ICTs in the two cities. Second, we compute the optimal level of ICT provision in the two cities in a decentralized regime in which spending on the ICTs is financed by a uniform tax on the city residents. Third, we ascertain the optimal level of ICT provision in the two cities in a centralized regime subject to equal provision of ICTs and cost sharing. Fourth, we show that if the two cities have the same preference for ICTs then centralization is preferable to decentralization as long as there is a spillover from the provision of ICTs. Finally, we show that if the two cities have dissimilar preferences for ICTs then centralization is preferable to decentralization as long as the spillover exceeds a certain threshold.

The purpose of this study is to determine the conditions of institutional support for the digitization of the urban environment. The paper identifies the main features and analyzes the conditions for the effective functioning of smart cities. The main characteristics of the smart city are revealed: they are people-oriented, use data in a digital format and are based on bottom-up innovations. The paper considers the systematization of the principles and ideas of the theory of institutional modeling from the simplest level of modeling, and ending with the most difficult level consisting in describing the evolution of institutions. The importance of applying such an approach to the study of the institutional support of smart cities is shown. As part of the study of the leading cities in the field of building smart urban environment, priorities, institutions and goals of intelligent development have been highlighted. The paper discusses the problems of the development of smart cities in Russia, presents a number of steps to solve them. The theoretical significance of the study consists in the development of approaches to the institutional support of a smart city. The practical significance of the research lies in the formation of possible future studies of rational economic management in the conditions of digital society. JEL classification:R11, O43, O31.

“…Managing smart cities requires "atomic" differentiation, since informatization affects all links of communication between people [9]. In this case, the institutional economic theory describing the norms of interaction between economic agents is applicable.…”

The purpose of this study is to systematize the socio-technological drivers of the smart city development based on the author's concept of econotronics. The following theoretical and practical results are obtained. The specificity of the smart city is shown and the main socio-technological drivers of its development are presented. These drivers include big data processing, cloud technologies, blockchain, digital platforms, the Internet of things and the fractional economy. The author's conception of econotronics is presented as a concept of economic analysis of a digital society. Econotronics is an economy section on the institutions of interaction between economic agents and society through digital technologies dynamics development. Socio-technological drivers of smart city development are systematized by levels of econotronics modeling. The design of institutions corresponds to the application of big data technology, the distribution of institutions-to the use of cloud technologies, the measurement of institutions-to the use of blockchain technologies, and the evolution of institutions-to the use of digital platforms, the Internet of things and the sharing economy. The principles and ideas of institutional modeling of a smart city econotronics are presented. It is shown that different levels of modeling of economic institutions correspond to the application of socio-technological drivers of the smart city development. It is concluded that the principles and ideas of econotronics can be used to model the smart city institutional formation.
