Abstract
The article examines the concept of “smart cities” as a key tool for the digital transformation of regions and sustainable socio-economic development. It analyzes the main directions of implementing digital technologies in urban infrastructure, including intelligent transportation systems, electronic payment solutions, AI-based monitoring systems, and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. Special attention is given to the experience of implementing the “Smart City” project in the Republic of Uzbekistan, its impact on improving citizens’ quality of life, enhancing the efficiency of urban resource management, and increasing the investment attractiveness of regions. The article also identifies the main challenges of digitalization, such as workforce shortages, uneven regional development, language and infrastructure barriers, and intellectual property protection issues. The study concludes that “smart city” initiatives hold strategic importance for modernizing the economy, fostering regional development, and strengthening Uzbekistan’s international position in the digital economy.
