description Nowadays the smart city concepts focus on the quality improvement of a citizen’s life by using the ICT. Meanwhile, the consideration of possible participants of smart city projects and the assessment of their potential remain outside the scientific discourse. The state Postal services are outside the Smart cities concepts and models, despite the available resources to handle big data. This research is aimed to highlight the significance of postal services involvement in effective data collection, storage and aggregation. The study refers to the international sources and considers a data-driven approach and a high-level smart city architecture, proposes architectural principles for its construction; substantiates the possibility and importance of the participation of postal services in the effective collection, storage and aggregation of urban data; describes the functions and assets of the Russian Post. Digital technologies used for the development of the urban environment have also been adopted by the postal services. The technology of the Internet of Things (IPT), implemented by the world's postal services, has called the Internet-of-Postal-Things (IoPT). City administrations build relationships with key businesses and state-owned companies that can provide the information the city needs, but such interactions are not sufficiently developed. The authors present the results of an online survey of the Russian citizens in order to justify the relevance of the research. The survey reveals the respondents' attitude to the use of the digital technologies, IoPT in the city initiatives, assessment of the potential of the Russian Post in implementing the smart city projects.
