Smart cities of the future are a priority tool for managing the development of municipalities in order to ensure that the ever-growing needs of their residents are met. Information and communication advances make it possible to better manage available resources, improve the quality of public (municipal) services, and overcome the problems of urbanization. In this regard, the creation of a sustainable, reasonable space in ever-growing cities is a challenge for public authorities around the world, including Russia. In our country, the systematic process of introducing “smart” technologies in city government started in 2018 in connection with the adoption of a departmental project by the Ministry of Construction of Russia. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the practice of implementing the departmental project of the Ministry of Construction of Russia “Smart City” in the cities of the Ural Federal District in various areas. The assessment was carried out on the basis of the IQ Index of cities in 2021, which includes an assessment of digitalization of such areas as urban management, smart housing and communal services, innovations for the urban environment, smart urban transport, intelligent systems for public and environmental safety, tourism and service, intelligent systems for social services, economic state and investment climate, as well as the infrastructure of communication networks. An analysis of the IQ Index of cities made it possible to determine that the most subsiding areas of intellectualization of the urban environment directly affect all residents — transport and housing and communal services. The dependence of the results of introducing “smart” technologies on the level of budgetary security of the region is revealed. Moreover, practical recommendations were made to improve the efficiency of implementing the departmental project of the Ministry of Construction of Russia “Smart City” based on the experience of the leading cities of the Ural Federal District.
