The article substantiates the scientific foundations for the formation of smart urbanism as an innovative model for managing the land resources of a megacity. It demonstrates that the dynamic processes of urbanization and the growing functional complexity of urban systems require a shift from traditional approaches to integrated digital solutions capable of ensuring the rational use of territories and enhancing the resilience of the urban environment. The content of smart-urbanistic approaches is revealed, including the use of geographic information systems, digital cadastres, the Internet of Things, drone monitoring, and big data analytics for precise land-use control. Special attention is given to the role of GIS as a fundamental platform for spatial analysis and modeling. International experience is summarized, demonstrating the effectiveness of smart solutions in improving planning quality, infrastructure development, and ecological balance. For Ukrainian megacities, the key barriers to digital transformation are identified, including fragmented cadastral data, limited integration of spatial information systems, and regulatory constraints. The author proposes strategic directions for implementing smart-urbanistic approaches, particularly the development of national digital infrastructure, the creation of urban digital twins, and the modernization of cadastral and legal regulatory instruments. It is emphasized that smart urbanism is based on continuous analytical assessment, which enhances the accuracy of zoning decisions and risk forecasting. An important component of smart-urbanistic governance is digital participatory management, which engages citizens, businesses, and urban institutions through open data platforms and interactive mapping tools. Public access to spatial information increases transparency, reduces corruption risks in land-use decision-making, and strengthens trust in municipal authorities. It is concluded that smart urbanism forms a new conceptual framework for effective land resource management, capable of ensuring sustainable development and strengthening the competitiveness of modern megacities.
