Abstract. The relevance of this research topic is determined by the acceleration of urbanization processes and the negative consequences that pose threats to the balanced development of cities. The purpose of the study is to identify the content of the «Smart City» model, determine the stages of its evolution, and substantiate the thesis of the need to consider threats and risks to economic security when developing projects for the digitalization of the urban economic space. The study determined that the digitalization of all spheres of life in modern society involves the transformation of strategic planning and urban development management tools using platform solutions. The development of digital technologies has become an objective prerequisite for the formation of the «Smart City» model, the implementation of which involves the introduction of intelligent systems into all segments of the urban space, the creation of intelligent transport, intelligent (low-carbon or alternative) energy, electronic public services, «smart finance», «smart governance», etc. To achieve this goal, a comparative analysis of theoretical and methodological approaches to the development of the «Smart City» model, existing in the works of Russian and foreign scientists, as well as an analysis of the practical implementation of digitalization projects of the economic space of Russian cities and the tools for their management, was used. This allowed us to present our own approach to improving the city’s economic security from external and internal threats as a prerequisite for its balanced development. The scientific novelty of this study lies in the need to incorporate into the Smart City model tools that ensure the timely identification of threats and risks, as well as the mitigation of their consequences using digital technologies. The presented approach to developing a Smart City model necessarily requires consideration of the interdependence and interconnectedness of threats, which should be reflected in the content of strategic planning and urban development management. Further research will focus on clarifying the nature of threats and the tools for managing them, as well as identifying tools for engaging citizens in the development and implementation of intelligent systems. The findings and conclusions formulated in this article can be used in the development of municipal programs for the digitalization of urban economic space, taking into account the changing threat landscape.

Key words: Smart City model, urban digitalization projects, intelligent systems, economic security, threats to balanced urban development.
