САЖЕТАК / ABSTRACT:

Successful project management represents the basis of effective smart city development, demanding a systematic approach that integrates technology, infrastructure, and urban requirements. However, the proper management of smart city projects encounters different challenges, such as managing budgets, coordinating employees, defining deadlines, and ensuring stakeholder collaboration. Effective project management is essential for overcoming these difficulties and ensuring successful project completion. That is why this study will focus on project management as a means for effective smart city development, and it will also explore challenges and best practices in that context. The goal is to provide a thorough framework for project managers, offering insights into balancing innovation with practical execution in the context of smart city development.
