Summary/Abstract: The issue of finding an optimal model for the operation of public administration, both in terms of its internal organisation and its relationship with stakeholders, remains current and complex. However, the Information Age brings with it the potential for significant improvements. Modern electronic tools offer numerous methods and techniques for optimisation and enhancing the operation of public administration. As information technology becomes a part of daily life and impacts all activities and policies, the general public demand for digital services logically increases. Consequently, using new technologies in decision making processes attracts research interest across several European countries. Similar development focuses on advanced information systems that enable the digitalisation of spatial planning and construction proceedings. The authors examine the digitalisation of public space, accentuating its interconnectedness with the Sustainable Development Goals. The paper alsoaims to share experiences from the ongoing digitalisation of construction proceedings and spatial planning in the Czech Republic. The authors describe potential benefits from the perspectives of public authorities and users of the public administration, providing practical insights into the advantages of digitalisation. The paper concludes by outlining prerequisites and challenges for the successful implementation in the daily practice of public administration and its users. The authors highlight the legal framework of the future building administration system. The authors exploit the desk research methodology and their experience in academia and legal practice.
