Nowadays many city governance bodies struggling to understand the vast array of issues that are coming their way - climate change, global warming, poverty, real estate, education, traffic, resource depletion, etc. And they increasingly face a need for ‘new thinking’, realizing that governmental decisions have long-term impacts. In addition, effectiveness of cooperation in field of efficient solution transfer becomes important among cities. The aim of the article is to show the concept, features, advantages and opportunities of the intellectual city environment in order to achieve new and qualitative development. To reflect the essence of ‘smart city’ and ‘intellectual city’ concepts, authors use literature review and overview. Main research results show that the use of positive synergies strengthens existing urban components and creates new ones. They improve the quality of the processes by developing the economic potential of cities and territories. The governance of the intellectual city is organized by different city management models. Model for strategic development of urban environment can help achieve the effect of synergy. True synergy effect in the intellectual urban environment is a change-oriented system. Authors offer their view of synergy of intelligence in ‘intellectual city’ in 21st century, which is reflected as an interaction between human and artificial intelligence. That relates with culture, global connectedness, control, investments, technology and innovations. The results show that ‘intellectual cities’ are built with high intensity support from government. Support is aimed to improve prosperity and life quality of citizens. These are key indicators that reflect opinion of voter about governance in election period.
