The smart city concept implementation in Russia is necessary to improve the quality of life for citizens and requires a significant amount of investment. Private investment can be one of the drivers of infrastructure development based on digital technologies, and can be attracted on terms of public-private partnerships. Effective implementation of this mechanism depends on many factors. Assessing the factors can reveal the imperfections of current approaches and identify areas that require further development and should be taken into account when planning public-private partnerships. Modern approaches for assessing the factors influencing the public-private partnership effectiveness in the sphere of the smart city concept implementation are presented in the article. Basing on the study of existing analytical tools, the author’s method for assessing the factors was developed and tested on the example of Sverdlovsk Oblast in Russia. Recommendations for the development of public-private partnerships in the sphere of creating digital objects for the infrastructure of the region were proposed, basing on the results of the study.
