Abstract
This research aims to identify professions necessary for the formation of smart cities, as well as risks associated with the emergence of such entities. We applied a market (comparative) approach for the analysis of digital technologies and professions suitable for Industry 4.0. It was found that a “smart city” has several interrelated dimensions: “smart economy”, “smart environment”, “smart people” and “smart technologies”. In order to reduce risks when building such a complex system, significant changes to the education system are required. Due to these changes, many professions and industries involved in the field of digitalization and “smart cities” will be created. These professions may range from specialists in bioinformatics and operators, who form and apply computational methods, to those working in the field of cyber pharmacy with big data. Planning of “smart cities” requires improved living standards, including energy efficient utilities, educational performance, public safety, etc. To implement the concept of “smart city” in a comprehensive way, it is important to provide highquality training and retraining of specialists, introduce new specialties in universities, generate employment mainly in smart working and establish an ongoing environment, including the business one, for boosting innovations.
