Abstract: According to many sociologists and technologists today we live in the midst of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The research aims to investigate this paradigm shift that is taking place in the contemporary city to understand how urban design is facing this digital transformation. Starting from the technological and digital innovations that are pervading the field of architecture, engineering and urban planning, this study will also try to understand how these radical changes will affect citizens' life.

“…In response to these challenges, cities around the world have embarked on a transformative journey, seeking to harness the power of digital technologies to create smarter, more sustainable, and efficient urban environments. This can be provided through so called Digital City Projects (DCP) [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

“…The Digital City projects in megalopolises must navigate these complexities. They must address the specific needs and dynamics of these densely populated urban regions while striving to achieve the overarching goals of sustainability, resilience, and inclusivity [8,33]. Understanding the performance of such initiatives in megalopolises is crucial for policymakers, urban planners, and researchers seeking to develop effective strategies for the digital transformation of urban territories [34].…”

Introduction of the research problem. Urbanization drives Digital City Projects (DCPs) to create smarter urban environments using advanced technologies. DCPs aim to make cities more connected and responsive, adapting to changing needs. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the performance of DCPs in megalopolises, focusing on Kharkiv and Dnipro in Ukraine. The previous works done. The various literature sources demonstrate the rise of Digital Cities stemming from Smart Cities. Kharkiv and Dnipro in Ukraine exemplify digitalization's role amid Russian aggression. Exposition of the main research material. The performance of the theoretical urbogeosystemic approach and its UOM in the provision of practical Digital City projects. This subsection delves into the practical application of the urbogeosystemic approach and its Urban Ontological Model (UOM) in DCPs. The UOM guides urban studies by defining components and relationships. Implementing DCPs begins with building simulation models using LiDAR data. Case Study First - Kharkiv: A feasible perspective of a full-format DCP implementation. This subsection discusses implementing a DCP in Kharkiv, emphasizing data integration from OpenStreetMap (OSM) and LiDAR. The authors propose that a DCP should serve as a comprehensive model of a real city, encompassing all its structural elements and key objects, going beyond the capabilities of a typical GIS project. Possible user’s scenarios include energy consumption analysis, population estimation, and visibility gradients assessment. The subsection highlights the comprehensive DCP approach with LiDAR data processing software (iQ City CCM) and urban geosituational analysis. Case Study Second - Kharkiv: a perspective of geomarketing within the “Digital Kharkiv” project as a routine GIS one. This subsection delves into the integration of geomarketing into the "Digital Kharkiv" project. Geomarketing plays a pivotal role in mapping socioeconomic elements tied to market interactions. "Digital Kharkiv," primarily sourced from OSM data, is lauded for its versatility in urban studies during peacetime and war. The text urges exploration of geomarketing within "Digital Kharkiv" in the context of post-Russian aggression rehabilitation, particularly in optimizing humanitarian object placements. Changes in geomarketing potential pre- and post-invasion in various city districts have been analyzed, highlighting areas with stagnation and those witnessing growth due to population resettlement. Case Study Third - Dnipro: implementation of a typical GIS-project for analyzing provision of the city population with public transportation infrastructural networks. This subsection discusses the implementation of the "Digital Dnipro" project as part of the DCP framework. The project focuses on analyzing the provision of public transportation networks in the city of Dnipro. It utilizes data from OSM to create a virtual model of the city, which includes attribute information for urban objects. This subsection also highlights the impact of war on urban planning and the need for sustainable updates to adapt to changing conditions. Conclusion. This section summarizes the key findings and takeaways from the research on DCPs in Ukrainian cities like Kharkiv and Dnipro. It highlights the importance of an urbogeosystemic approach in implementing DCPs effectively. The study emphasizes the flexibility and efficiency of the relevant GIS tools in urban research and transformation.

The article focuses on the problem of designing, constructing, measuring and interpreting indices for assessing the digital transformation of manufacturing companies. We analyse the compositional features, advantages and limitations of the three indices, which are a fairly focused on comparing industrial sectors (or at least extended groups of industries) according to their level of digital transformation or digital maturity: Industrial Digitalisation Index MGI McKinsey, Smart Industry Readiness Index (SIRI) of the World Economic Forum, Digitalisation Index for Economy and Social Sectors by the Higher School of Economics. The main thesis of the article is the need to develop a unified, continuous and relevant index of digital transformation for manufacturing companies, taking into account all the positive experiences in the conceptual and methodological development of digitalisation assessment indices that research and analysis teams have managed to develop so far. At the same time, the author points out the need to avoid retrospective construction of indices based on lagging statistical data. It seems very important to take into account the need to introduce a strategic vector when measuring the level of digital transformation of manufacturing companies. It is not enough to simply aggregate indicators of digital adoption and identify certain indices or sub-indices as the main markers of digital transformation. From a statistical point of view, such an approach can be perfectly correct, reliable, and verifiable.Questions arise about the productive potential of clustered technologies in the context of evolving business models, particularly in manufacturing. As a part of constructing any indices and methods for assessing the dynamics of digital maturity, digitalisation, digital transformation, it is better to face the inevitable uncertainty about the potential of some frontier technologies in an attempt to foresee the intersections of technological factors and future niches for business models, than to try to generalise the trajectory already traversed with a more retrospective logic based only on the verified and more tested parts and layers of the technologies. With this approach, digital transformation indices for manufacturing companies take on projective and instrumental functions, as they serve, in a sense, as a roadmap. They make it possible to improve the strategic vision of companies in different sectors, as well as their stakeholders, associations and public authorities (especially those in charge of digitalisation and industrial policy), with a view to achieving later stages of digital maturity.
