Abstract

The rapid development of digital technologies has led to the emergence of digital assets, which include data, digital currencies, and virtual property, becoming integral components of modern urban environments. As cities evolve into smart cities, the management of these digital assets presents both significant opportunities and challenges. This research explores the legal frameworks, policies, and technological innovations surrounding digital assets management in urban settings. The objective is to analyze existing practices, identify gaps, and propose an efficient management system that aligns with urban development goals while ensuring data privacy and security. The aim is to create a comprehensive understanding of how digital assets can be effectively governed and integrated within urban infrastructures. Recommendations will focus on creating clear legal frameworks, enhancing cybersecurity measures, and fostering collaboration between public and private sectors to manage digital assets sustainably and equitably.
