Abstract The transformation of the digital economy inevitably affects almost all areas and industries (including those that are critical to the normal functioning of cities) and allows using digital technology to achieve the most effective ways of solving management, communication, and logistics problems in the constant lack of resource base in the regions. The Government of the Russian Federation pays special attention to the policy of digitalization of urban space, which encourages regions to work on projects to implement elements of the smart city in the management of their cities. Simultaneously, we must realize that in addition to differences in the territorial, geographical, and economic nature of the functioning of cities, a critical limiting factor is the uneven development of digitalization and readiness of the population to digital change. Large megacities with developed infrastructure, great economic potential, which is often attractive to large investors, highly qualified personnel, and a set of sufficiently weighty digital competencies in the population are in a better position than small towns. Small towns have limited financial and human resources for the application of innovative digital technologies in management activities and are forced to independently solve many issues related to the life of the city, primarily for the development of the accumulated human potential. The paper aims to substantiate the need to introduce digitalization in the economic activities of small towns to effectively manage urban space and increase the possibility of increasing the competitiveness of small towns in the current conditions. The research objectives include the identification of the digital competencies in the population of small towns, the analysis of the digitalization of urban space in small towns, and the proposal of possible ways to improve digitalization in small towns from the perspective of their sustainable development in the digital economy. The main research methods are sociological (conducting sociological surveys and questionnaires) and analytical (collection, analysis, and interpretation of research results). © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
