The project «Smart Cities» is being implemented in Belarus

In Belarus, serious attention is paid to the development of smart sustainable cities.

The project «Smart Cities of Belarus» is one of the components of the digital transformation of the country and involves the creation of equal opportunities in the regions through the comprehensive and consistent implementation of digital solutions.

The core of the project is a backbone event to create a typical regional state digital platform «Smart City». Today the application is already available for Polotsk, Baranovichi, Orsha, Glubokoe, Pinsk, Braslav. Conditions have been created for the appearance of an application for Zhodino, Narovlya and Lepel. Project presentations were held for Novogrudok, Borisov, Nesvizh, Smorgon. Also, within the framework of the project, it is planned to create a traffic control center, an information system for the organization and safety of road traffic, an environmental monitoring system, and a national geoportal. The introduction of fiber-optic infrastructure and the creation of a technological infrastructure for data processing will continue. In terms of pilot projects, it is planned to organize rapid response centers in Orsha, a 5G wireless communication test zone, scale up the application «My City», and implement the pilot project «Smart Quarter».

The implementation of the smart city concept makes a significant contribution to the achievement by the Republic of Belarus of Sustainable Development Goals 1, 8, 9, 10, 11 and other SDGs.
