Modern cities face multiple global challenges. Despite the diversity of threats to sustainable development, public health is a priority. The authors will show, by analysing urban practices, how the integration of digital technologies, monitoring systems and data analysis can help to address the issues of disease control, environmental monitoring, access to urban medical infrastructure and health services. The article emphasises that the success of smart cities in public health is highly dependent on community engagement. Smart cities offer a set of innovative, flexible and scalable solutions that can significantly improve the situation in this area. The application of big data technologies, artificial intelligence, sensor networks and other advanced tools allows for creation of efficient mechanisms for monitoring, prediction and counteracting threats to public health. The provided conclusions and recommendations can serve as a basis for the development of sustainable development strategies for smart cities aimed at long-term improvement of people’s quality of life.
Key words: Smart city / Health monitoring / Environmental wellbeing / Digital infrastructure
