Abstract Digital technology is becoming the main tool for doing research and constructing possible future scenarios. It is an effective managerial instrument that helps to coordinate and enhance all spheres of life in a megalopolis. The role of digital technology is preconditioned by its wide spread and the fact that it has turned into one of the essential factors of growth and competitiveness. The paper is aimed at discussing the main areas of development of digital technology, its possible applications in the concept of a smart city and finding out how this technology can affect the quality of life of the population. The process of transition to smart cities is especially relevant. The population density in megalopolises and the speed of the processes taking place in them create conditions for increased social tension. In this way, digital technology is responsible for a whole set of special functions. St. Petersburg implements the concept of a smart city within the 2035 Socioeconomic Development Strategy of the City, whose purpose is to ensure a stable improvement in the quality of life of the population through sustainable economic growth. The growth can be achieved if the results of innovative and technological activities are used and the global competitiveness of St. Petersburg is raised. The 2035 Strategy provides for the accelerated development of the knowledge economy, which creates the basis for accelerated economic growth. The paper considers the possibility of monitoring the quality of life of the population on the basis of a sociological survey in which citizens are interviewed about the public and municipal services provided to them in St. Petersburg. The results of the survey show that, in general, the quality of the public service "Renewal of the national passport upon reaching the age of 20"is rated as great or good by 43.6% of respondents, as satisfactory by 39.6%, and as poor and very bad by 12.6% of people. The remaining 3.9% were undecided. The concept of a smart city is the one St. Petersburg should strive for implementing in its economy, as the global problems of the impact on the urban environment are becoming increasingly worrying for the residents of the city. The information interaction between the population and local self-government needs to be developed and transformed. In particular, a single Internet portal should be created for the municipalities of St. Petersburg. This project will help to save a lot of money, which can further be used for developing new inter-municipal projects. The results obtained suggest that digital technology will, first of all, improve the level and quality of life of the city's population since innovative information technology can be used for improving the urban space, governing the city, increasing the level of human interaction with the urban environment, and developing the urban infrastructure. © 2021 ACM.
