During the last year a term Smart City (intelligent city) was actualized in Kyiv. It is often used in a very abstract sense, almost as a synonym for the phrase "Comfort town", "European city" or even "good city". We will try to describe this process here!

Smart City technology is integrated into the relevant structures to improve the quality of service, reduce cost and consumption and to improve communication and understanding with residents.
