Abstract

A smart city is an urban area that uses advanced technologies and data analysis to improve its residents’ quality of life, promote sustainability, and improve urban services. Smart cities benefit from several technologies, including Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, connected devices, artificial intelligence (AI), and big data analytics to collect and analyze data from various sources in real time. The goal of a smart city is to use this data to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of urban services such as transportation, energy, water management, waste management, and public safety. The future of cities is likely to be shaped by a combination of technological, social and environmental trends. Our future cities will have some features, including smart infrastructure, sustainable design, sustainable transportation, urban resilience, digitization, and citizen participation.
