Abstract

The article presents results of a study of the problems, needs and ideas about the composition of decisions of a smart city when forming the concept of smart city for St. Petersburg. An independent survey of government officials was conducted. It was done in order to reveal their ideas about the composition of the necessary decisions for a smart city and also to compare results with a similar study for the population. The study of the population of St. Petersburg was carried out by a mass survey and in-depth case studies. As a result, significant differences in expectations from a smart city between these groups of stakeholders are shown. In addition, there were differences in the expectations of citizens with the requirements of international standards. The revealed effects confirm the hypothesis of the need for flexible and adaptive approaches to the creation of smart cities. Smart city should be positioned as an adaptive city for the needs of citizens.
