Abstract

This article aims to explore the principles and opportunities for the use of smart technologies within the development of floating cities, which is important because in the context of rapid urban growth and climate change, such research can contribute to the development of innovative approaches for sustainable and efficient urban spaces, which is key to the well-being of future generations. The aim of this study is to analyse the use of smart technologies for the development of floating cities and assess their impact on sustainability and improved living standards in future urban environments. The following methods were used for the study: analysing transport infrastructure and mobility, evaluating environmental aspects, studying energy solutions, and analysing socio-economic indicators. The study provides an analytical assessment of the current state of implementation of the concept of floating cities and identifies the technical, economic, and social challenges they face. The study confirmed the significant potential of floating cities in the context of smart city development. Adopting innovative approaches to sustainable construction and resource utilization offers new perspectives for creating cleaner and more efficient urban environments. The analysis identified key success factors including the development of modern technologies, public participation in decision-making and government support. However, the study also emphasized the need to pay attention to social and economic aspects when implementing such projects. The development of floating cities can contribute to the creation of an urban environment that is more sustainable and enjoyable for future generations. The practical significance of this study is that it identifies the key success factors and challenges faced by floating cities in the context of smart city development, which will help to develop more effective strategies and approaches to create sustainable and innovative urban environments in the future.
