description Well-developed cities give people the opportunity for socio-economic progress as well as security in crisis situations. In the conditions of ecological, energy and pandemic crisis, the challenges of developing sustainable public relations during an unsustainable environment in large urban centers stand out even more strongly. A change in the priorities that municipalities follow is necessary. They should focus on the quality of life, safety and health of the residents, but with the use of smart technologies adequate to modern achievements. The facts accompanying urbanization are a serious argument for the search for long-term solutions for a sustainable urban living environment, especially in large cities. The purpose of the research is to emphasize the main policies and challenges affecting the quality of life in cities, as well as the opportunities for their improvement through smart technologies. City management should be transformed into an integrated management of the social, economic and environmental aspects of city life. Activities in the municipality can be understood as a partnership between politicians, administration, business and interested citizens. Integration can also be aimed in partnership with other cities in the country and in Europe. Sustainable financing oriented to long-term projects that contribute to overall economic development in a given area or region is needed.
