Purpose: The article examines the role of public-private partnership (PPP) as a key tool for urban infrastructure restoration and the development of Ukrainian cities within the framework of the Smart City concept. It underscores the urgent need for effective mechanisms to restore urban infrastructure, especially in light of the challenges associated with the Russian military aggression and the resulting destruction in Ukrainian cities. The study explores key aspects of smart cities development, including the integration of digital technologies, the use of data, and innovative business models aimed at optimizing city functions. Design/Methodology/Approach: The research employs a multi-stage methodological approach, encompassing elements such as gauging urban population satisfaction with municipal services, graphical analysis using CIMI, assessing the relevance of revitalizing Ukrainian cities and the need for mobilizing business resources, sociological surveys, developing a Smart City model based on PPP project outcomes, and formulating key elements of the national Smart City development strategy. Findings: Emphasizing the importance of strategic planning and cooperation between public and private sectors, the study demonstrates the advantages offered by PPP-based projects. The obtained results highlight the pivotal role of PPPs in promoting urban development initiatives basedon the Smart City concept. The study emphasises the potential of PPPs in shaping stable and prosperous smart cities in Ukraine. Through effective PPP utilisation, local governments can restore urban infrastructure,improve service quality, and enhance the quality of life for their citizens. Practical Implications: The research results can serve as the basis for strategic planning and investment in infrastructure projects necessary for the creation of a smart city. The envisioned strategy will allow for the improvement of legislative acts covering a wide range of aspects of smart cities development while promoting collaboration between public and private entities. This includes bolstering the transportation system, deploying digital technologies, modernizing social institutions, and enhancing the efficiency of urban resource management. Originality/Value: The originality and value of the study lie in its multifaceted approach to assessing and promoting the Smart City concept in Ukrainian urban development. It combines various research methods, including satisfaction assessments, CIMI-based graphical analyses, sociological surveys, and the development of a Smart City model based on PPP project results. This approach not only provides a comprehensive understanding of the state of urban infrastructure and citizen satisfaction but also offers a strategic framework for smart cities development.Purpose: The article examines the role of public-private partnership (PPP) as a key tool for urban infrastructure restoration and the development of Ukrainian cities within the framework of the Smart City concept.

Sekundarni povzetek:	Namen: Članek obravnava vlogo javno-zasebnega partnerstva kot ključnega orodja za obnovo mestne infrastrukture in razvoj ukrajinskih mest v okviru koncepta »pametnih mest«. Poudarja potrebo po učinkovitih mehanizmih za obnovo mestne infrastrukture, zlasti v luči izzivov, povezanih z rusko vojaško agresijo in posledičnim uničenjem v ukrajinskih mestih. Študija obravnava ključne vidike razvoja pametnih mest, vključno z uvedbo digitalnih tehnologij, uporabo podatkov in inovativnimi poslovnimi modeli, namenjenimi optimizaciji mestnih funkcij. Zasnova/metodologija/pristop: Uporabljen je večstopenjski metodološki pristop, ki med drugim vključuje merjenje zadovoljstva mestnega prebivalstva z občinskimi storitvami, grafično analizo z uporabo indeksa CIMI, oceno pomembnosti oživljanja ukrajinskih mest in potreb po mobilizaciji poslovnih virov, sociološke raziskave, razvoj modela pametnega mesta na podlagi rezultatov projektov javno-zasebnega partnerstva ter oblikovanje ključnih elementov nacionalne strategije razvoja pametnih mest. Ugotovitve: Študija izpostavlja pomen strateškega načrtovanja in sodelovanja med javnim in zasebnim sektorjem ter poudarja prednosti projektov, ki temeljijo na javno-zasebnem partnerstvu. Dobljeni rezultati kažejo na ključno vlogo javno-zasebnih partnerstev pri spodbujanju pobud za razvoj mest, ki temeljijo na konceptu pametnega mesta. Predstavljen je potencial javno-zasebnih partnerstev za oblikovanje stabilnih in uspešnih pametnih mest v Ukrajini. Z učinkovitimi javno-zasebnimi partnerstvi bodo lokalne oblasti uspešneje obnovile mestno infrastrukturo ter izboljšale kakovost storitev in življenja svojih državljanov. Vpliv v praksi: Rezultati raziskave lahko služijo kot podlaga za strateško načrtovanje in naložbe v infrastrukturne projekte, potrebne za oblikovanje pa-metnih mest. Predvidena strategija bo omogočila izboljšanje zakonodajnih aktov, ki se nanašajo na razvoj pametnih mest, hkrati pa spodbuja sodelovanje med javnimi in zasebnimi subjekti. To vključuje krepitev prometnega sistema, uvajanje digitalnih tehnologij, posodabljanje družbenih institucij in izboljšanje učinkovitosti upravljanja mestnih virov. Izvirnost/vrednost: Izvirnost in vrednost študije vidimo v njenem večplastnem pristopu k presoji in spodbujanju koncepta pametnih mest v urbanem razvoju v Ukrajini. Združuje različne raziskovalne metode, vključno z ocenami zadovoljstva, grafičnimi analizami na podlagi indeksa CIMI, sociološkimi raziskavami in razvojem modela pametnega mesta na podlagi rezultatov projektov javno-zasebnega partnerstva. Ta pristop ne omogoča le celovitega razumevanja stanja mestne infrastrukture in zadovoljstva državljanov, temveč ponuja tudi strateški okvir za razvoj pametnih mest.
