Abstract

The work clarifies the concept of a smart city interface as a toolkit for the interaction of digital systems and a wide range of users within the framework of the digitalization of the urban environment. The paper shows that the success of the formation and development of smart cities is associated not only with the introduction of digital technologies in various aspects of the urban environment, but also with the willingness of the population to use these innovations, as well as the toolkit for user interaction with digital systems, i.e. smart city interfaces, their usability and efficiency. The work systematizes the basic principles of the development of interfaces of smart cities, it is shown that the basic principles of creating interfaces are also typical for other digital systems, for example, used in the digitalization of enterprises or individual areas of economic activity. On the other hand, the complexity and multidimensionality of the digital ecosystem of the city requires the development of special principles for the formation of effective tools for interactions within the digital space of the city. The novelty of the research lies in the development of the theoretical foundations of the functioning of modern cities in the context of the formation of a digital society.
