Therefore, the characteristics features of modern cities refer not only to their physical structures, but also to the network of cyber-relations optimising processes occurring within agglomerations. The aims of public governance in urban space relating to the development of intelligent, sharp solutions regarding life quality improvement are undeniably associated with the application of modern technologies. However, one must also take into consideration the role and impact of various stakeholders affecting the process of smart city development. According to the results, stakeholders’ involvement is crucial for good management. It is believed that the greatest role in the implementation of intelligent solutions is played by local self-governments.

Political entities of a more extensive coverage as well as local communities, economic entities and research institutions also play essential role at the stage of concept development. This study focuses on the importance of individual interest groups in the process of shaping intelligent solutions in the urban space.
