This article is devoted to the study of the best practices for the implementation and management of the "smart city" concept. It is worth noting that the concept of a "smart city" is heterogeneous: it includes diverse structural components that may exist separately, but collectively increase their effectiveness due to the systemic effect. The concept is based on information and telecommunication technologies that increase the efficiency of government and facilitate interaction with society to solve urgent problems of the urban environment and improve the standard of living of urban residents. The management practice of implementing the smart city concept in Russia shows that this system is imperfect at the city level: there is a lack of key strategic planning documents and a transparent system of distribution of powers between public authorities. Based on the analysis of international experience, the main standards and ratings of "smart cities" were determined. As part of the study of international ratings, the best practices for managing the implementation of the concept of "smart cities" were highlighted.
