The article is devoted to the main aspects of the development of a “smart” or “digital city”. To date, the approved “Strategy for the Development of the Information Society in the Russian Federation for 2017-2030” is being implemented quite fully. Within the framework of the “Smart City” concept, one of its components is identified and considered in the article: “Urban governance”. The authors believe that the human factor in urban management is fundamental. But in the “digital city” system, managers-officials need to use (own) information systems and programs that simplify and make transparent their actions in urban management. Such a tool, according to the authors, is the introduction of the “Electronic Government” system. E-government removes borders and frameworks in communication between officials and the population, makes their work visible and understandable, explains to the population the principles and procedure for the implementation of the activities of the state, region and municipalities. The article considers the economic and other prerequisites that contribute to the need for the use of e-government in urban management.

Legal Nature of Public Authority: Doctrine and Law

The constitutional reform of 2020 made it relevant to develop a doctrinal and legal description of public power. The existing interpretations of its legal nature are often different, even mutually exclusive. This situation makes it necessary to expand the methodological foundations behind the theoretical model of public power. The author identified public power based on the differences in philosophy, management theory, political science, and sociology, on the one hand, and constitutional studies, on the other. The hypothesis of the cyclical development of constitutional law, both as a branch of law and as a science, made it possible to reconstruct the ideas of public power in the Russian doctrine of constitutional law at the turn of the XIX–XX centuries. These ideas proved systematic and logically complete because they interpreted public power as a special subjective right implemented by the community. The concepts of public power in the national constitutional studies demonstrated continuity, especially against V. E. Chirkin’s collectivist theory of public power. However, the importance of public understanding of the legal nature of public power remains underestimated. This flaw is also typical of the latest theoretical models of public power, which were affected by the constitutional reform of 2020, as demonstrated by some recent federal laws.

In 2020, a constitutional reform was carried out in Russia, the provisions of which significantly affected the regulation of local self-government, as well as the entire system of state structure of the country. At first glance, the changes are not fundamentally new, since many of them are the consolidation of the provisions of the current legislation or the established policy of the state. Nevertheless, constitutional norms significantly expand the discretionary powers of state authorities, which may lead to a lack of constitutional guarantees for individual institutions. The formulation in the text of the constitution of a unified system of public authority is one of the most important changes that can affect the future of local self-government in Russia. Public authorities enter the system based on the principles of consensual interaction and coordination of activities within interests of the population. The novelty of the article is determined by an integrated approach to the study of the essence of the unified system of public authority, of assigning citizens a central place in the system, as well as of introducing the category «unified system of public authorities» into the nomenclature. The main changes are examined through the prism of increasing the level of citizens’ involvement in participation in local self-government, which will have a positive impact on the legal culture of society. The author touches upon the problems of the implementation of local self-government in the federal territories and proposes possible ways of improving the legislation. The author also analyzes the American experience of local self-government regulation and approaches to placement of municipal authorities in the federal system. The formal legal method, being the basic one for legal science, is used to study the essence of local self-government, as an element of a unified system of public authority, and the placement of citizens in this system on the basis of studying and interpreting the norms of domestic legislation. When applying the elements of the comparative legal method, the relation between the approaches to understanding certain issues in Russia and in the United States will be taken into consideration.
