theoretical and methodological basis;
– to analyze the mechanisms and instruments of state regulation in the
development of smart cities in the Republic of Kazakhstan;
– to systematize advanced approaches of international models of state
regulation in the development of smart cities that enable the implementation of
sustainable development principles;

its interconnection with the state governance system has been scientifically
substantiated.
2. A comprehensive analysis of the current state of tools and methods of state
regulation of smart cities in the Republic of Kazakhstan has been carried out, and

approaches to urban governance. This approach highlights the necessity of
considering the Smart City concept not only through its technological aspects but
