Abstract

Nowadays, the use of the concept of "smart city" opens up opportunities to solve economic, social and environmental problems, which significantly affect the conditions and quality of life of the population.

Smart technologies are used in many areas that contributes the improving of the quality of services for the daily life of citizens. However, the existing concept of a smart city is still developing and there are significant problems with its security nowadays. Blockchain technology can help to solve this problem.

Recently, the introduction of blockchain technologies in various areas has been increasingly discussed in the world.

More and more, this technology attracts the attention of Ukrainian specialists in the field of IT technologies and scientists.

The features of the introduction of blockchain technologies are based on the impossibility of bureaucratic actions by the state. Unlike the existing system of the smart city management, blockchain technology will allow city residents to communicate directly bypassing bureaucratic schemes. As it is known  it is impossible to intervene in the blockchain and change or delete the record, all the actions will be seen by all the participants in the blockchain, the residents of the city.

The purpose of this article is to determine the features of the introduction of blockchain technologies in the management of a smart city in order to give state bodies new tools that will reduce the amount of fraud, the number of errors and reduce the expenditure of paper document flow; analysis of foreign experience of blockchain implementation in the city management system.

More and more cities of the world join the introduction of smart technologies. The modern trend of civilization is characterized by the rise and development of several megapolises, which merge into a huge urban structure and which in many cases represent the demographic and economic center of the national system.

A number of cities in the world are still not ready to switch to the blockchain technology completely, but their government intends to introduce innovations into the management of the city gradually.

Nowadays the blockchain technology plays a key role, as it can allow ICT to fit into an anthropologically ideal social and political context. The blockchain is the technology that can ensure full social equality, democracy, because it assumes that everyone controls everyone but not special bodies. It creates the conditions for the managemental pyramid to line up from below and above at the same time, and not just from above. Therefore, the blockchain technology provides not only the Smart City technology, beneficial to bureaucrats, but something more significant - direct coordination of actions between residents as a condition for their self-organization.
