Executive Summary

A “smart city” is an innovative urban center that uses information and communication technologies (ICT) to improve the quality of life, urban operations and services to meet the needs of present and future generations for economic, social and environmental aspects. It uses the ICT intelligent network with connected devices and machines for data transfer through the cloud and wireless technology. Smart cities use smart IoT solutions to enhance the existing infrastructure and to help the government manage its services, such as municipalities, public transportation, water and waste management, and energy retail. The sensors, cameras and networks provide real-time information on the city’s traffic status,
energy consumption, pollution level and water usage.

Smart city technologies to help solve the challenges of global urbanization, urban migration trends, environmental degradation, climate change, aging populations and infrastructures to optimize resource utilization. The increasing population shift toward urbanization involves the demand and supply balance of connected transport facilities, employment, healthcare facilities, air quality, education and electricity. Smart cities use automated, networked and intelligent technology systems that ensure the quality of life for all by providing smart homes, connected vehicles, smart healthcare, traffic management, energyefficient transportation and buildings. Smart cities help to fight against the significant issues of urbanization, such as air quality, mobility, energy, and safety and security.

The COVID-19 pandemic further enhanced the need for smart cities, as the pandemic has tested the health infrastructure and the social and economic conditions of cities across the globe. Smart cities helped to fight against the pandemic with real-time monitoring of COVID guidelines, lockdowns, proper vaccination drives and remote healthcare facilities. The importance of a smart city was highlighted in difficult times, as it relies on the concept of technology use for citizen well-being. With accelerated urbanization, global cities have transformed into massive cosmopolitan regions with considerable cultural diversity. Smart cities guarantee a sustainable infrastructure without upsetting the ecological
balance and provide improved residential and commercial centers that offer rational, advanced and more innovative lifestyles for the future.

A smart city collects data on a real-time basis with the help of sensors and cameras. Once the data are collected, they are studied and analyzed to acquire information regarding a city’s various operations and services. After data analysis, the outcome is communicated to the concerned person to assist in better and timely action. The last step in working the smart city is the action taken based on the real-time data received and analyzed. The final action is taken to improve the existing operation or as a precautionary measure to avoid potential damage or loss.
