This discipline is original and new for our institute. It is the responce to the fact that in the 21st century, developed cities are and will be the main concentrators and ‘attractors’ of finance, innovation and the best human resources. And “smart cities” will significantly influence the economic, cultural and even political landscape of their countries and even macro-regions around. They will set the tone and pace in multi-level governance as well – governance that simultaneously encompasses powerful subjects of different spatial levels: from local communities to regions and higher, to national governments. We are convinced that it will be interesting and necessary for a modern state manager in Ukraine and a conscious citizen to know how such ‘multilevel governance’ works, how to act with smart cities and how to direct all this in the direction of the managed modernization of their country.
The discipline will cover the topics of economic strategies and examples of real smart cities in the world, smart citizenship, the internet-of-things for smart cities, and also – a combination of this in a wider dialogue – during multi-level and inter-municipal governance.
