Intellectual urban environment: directions and prospects of development

In the history of human civilization, cities have played and continue to play the role of centers of innovation and drivers of socio-economic progress. At the same time, the trajectory of the development of the city itself can be very different, from its heyday to complete oblivion. The realization of the potential of cities and the possibilities of conducting innovative activities in them are largely determined by the state of the urban environment, primarily intellectual. In turn, it is strongly influenced by the traffic jam effects of efforts that are being made to solve problems that are not directly related to its development. The review examines the impact on the intellectual environment of cities of such modern initiatives as the creation of technoparks and university campuses, the formation of creative spaces and the introduction of smart city technologies. According to the author, their effectiveness in terms of using the innovative potential of cities could be higher if government policy focused not on individual components, but on interconnections, and considered the communication component of the urban intellectual environment.
