Smart cities development initiatives, which become the response on growing urbanization, rise the problem of smart city digital technologies study. Digital revolution grows stronger, so it makes possible to use digital information and communication technologies in city management and allows rise of life quality. The digital revolution modern stage is characterized by the technologies combination of the third digital platform which is briefly referred to as SMAC, on the first English letters of social networks, mobility, analytics and cloud computing. This paper describes IBM’s smart city model, which consists of three stages: instrumentation, interconnection and intelligence. Instrumentation means that the workings of the system are turned into data points and the system is made measurable. Interconnection means that different parts of a core system can interact with each other, turning data into information. Intelligence refers to the ability to use the created information in decision making processes. We declare that the third digital platform technologies having been correlated with the model stages could be considered as the digital technologies of a smart city.
