They are developing in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, the goal is to ensure a positive transformation of the urban environment and achieve a synergistic effect from the development of cities, ”the experts said during the presentation.
According to the basic concept of Smart City, it is planned to implement four main directions on the territory of the industrial park:

- "smart" energy (solar energy in the industrial complex);
- "smart" response in emergency situations ("smart" street lights, evacuation system in emergency situations, monitoring system for forest fire prevention);
- "operational management" (center of integrated control and management, control over data collection, creation of services based on the open platform of the "smart city").
Based on the results of the analysis of the prospects for the development of the Bolshoy Kamen territory, which the Korean specialists carried out with the assistance of the Primorye Development Corporation and the regional Investment Agency, the main emphasis was placed on the promising global and regional role of the urban district.
“Globally, by developing the potential of the industrial sector based on the Zvezda shipbuilding complex, Bolshoy Kamen can become one of the leading logistics and shipbuilding centers in the Russian Far East and in the Northern Sea Route network. The creation of a “smart city” in Bolshoy Kamen and the development of a large-scale industrial park will help to strengthen, first of all, regional competitiveness for doing business in Primorye in the logistics, trade and industry, ”LH Corporation noted in its report.
