Abstract The article discusses the importance of digital transformation in achieving increased efficiency and sustainability of cities in the modern world. The main objective of the work is to explore the potential of digital transformation, assess the institutional prerequisites for its development, the concept of smart cities, trends, challenges, and vectors of digital transformation development, and its impact on enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of cities. The relevance of addressing the stated problem lies in the fact that urban population growth, changes in the economy, technological progress, and environmental issues pose complex challenges for cities, and digital technologies can provide solutions for managing transportation, energy supply, waste management, and improving access to information and services for residents. This publication highlights key aspects of transformative changes and digital integration processes, the role of information and communication technologies in public life. An attempt has been made to provide a systematic exposition of the main advantages of using information and communication technologies as a tool for shaping a smart society, implementing the concept of a smart city, and democratic state development. It is found that the main challenges on the path of digital transformation include the lack of a unified approach at the state and local levels, unsatisfactory development of digital infrastructure, inadequate level of automation and digitization of government services, lack of digital literacy among the population and local government officials, and the presence of digital «Inequality» among the population. The research concludes that the use of advanced digital technologies can be a key tool in achieving the strategic development goals of cities, particularly in the context of Sustainable Development Goals. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.
