Abstract
The paper attempts to carry out an analytical review of the main approaches, trends and contradictions in the understanding of Smart City in modern political discourse. The author analyzes approaches to the definition of the content of the concept of Smart City; shows the evolution of the concept of Smart City from technologically oriented to human-centered, human-sized approaches that put a person and his well-being at the center of a Smart City and emphasizes his subjectivity in planning and managing a modern city. The author concludes that the analysis of different points of view and approaches to the content of the concept of Smart City in modern political discourse reflects at the same time the existing problems and contradictions of the phenomenon of Smart City, allowing to present it in all its complexity and depth.
Keywords:
Smart City, political discourse, public governance, human-centered (human-sized) approach, information and communication technologies, smart citizens, network city, sustainable city, world city, smart city, information city
