The capital not only plays a leading role in the global urban sustainable development agenda but also possesses unique experience in implementing artificial intelligence and data-driven solutions. Participation in the World Urban Forum helps confirm Moscow's high-tech potential and consolidate its status as one of the leading competence centers in the field of smart cities.

Currently, the capital is implementing over 130 projects applying AI technologies.
Foreign counterparts showed particular interest in Moscow's digital twin city. This is an accurate 3D replica of the capital, containing 9,000 analytical layers covering data from all areas of urban life. The project was also presented at a session on accelerating the localization of sustainable development goals through digital innovation. Moscow's digital twin city helps make over 2,000 management decisions at various levels annually in areas such as construction, beautification, and comprehensive urban development.
