Possibilities of new information technologies in the system of urban planning and construction

The management quality of the process of territorial and urban planning and construction significantly affects the prospects for successful development of the city. A common problem in this case is objectively conditioned opposition of interests of municipal administrations, developers, designers and townspeople. Among the whole complex of problems generated by such confrontation in this paper, the problem of information support of urban development is highlighted. The main requirements are formulated, which should be met by information systems accompanying the urban development, and it is also shown that the present existing and traditional architecture does not fully meet the requirements for the majority of information systems such as "data storage - information consumer". A new approach to the construction of information systems for the provision of city planning activity based on the recently emerged protocols of interaction in the information field and information technologies is proposed. It is shown that the optimal solution of the problem can be found in a bundle of technologies of the mediated interaction "supplier-receiver" of the Uber type, blockchain and smart contracts on the blocking platform. The place and boundaries of applicability of each of these protocols are determined and the possible results of the joint work of these technologies in the sphere of town planning are shown. © 2018 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
