 ABSTRACT
Most of the world's population today lives in cities. By 2030, the population of the cities around the
world is expected to grow from 3.3 billion to 5 billion people.

Due to resource constraints, there will be a problem in the future to

provide all the servicesto the residents. To continue to serve and improve the standard of living of
the growing population, it is necessary to develop smart cities. The Smart City aims to make
optimal and sustainable use of all resources, while maintaining an appropriate balance between
social,environmental and economic costs. In the Smart City, maximum use is made of IOT to
improve the functioning, management, and supervision of the variety of systems and services, with
an emphasis on saving energy, water, land and other natural resources.

The main categories that define smart cities include the quality of the
environment, energy,water and wastewater, transportation and traffic, information and
communication systems,quality of life, government, economics, human resources, housing and land
use, home landsecurity, and emergency preparedness. The degree of preparedness of the city for the
collapse of the municipal systems, whether as a result of state security or natural disasters,should
also be taken into account.

 INTRODUCTION
A 'smart city' is an urban region that is highly advanced in terms of overall infrastructure,

sustainable real estate, communications and market viability. It‟s a city where information

technology is the principal infrastructure and the basis for providing essential services to

residents. It is an urban development vision to integrate information and communication

technology (ICT) and Internet of things (IoT) technology in a secure fashion to manage a

city's assets.

A smart city is promoted to use urban informatics and technology to improve the

efficiency of services. ICT allows city officials to interact directly with the community and

the city infrastructure and to monitor what is happening in the city, how the city is evolving,

and how to enable a better quality of life. Through the use of sensors integrated with real-

time monitoring systems, data are collected from citizens and devices – then processed and

analysed. The information and knowledge gathered are keys to tackling inefficiency.

Information and communication technology (ICT) is used to enhance quality, performance

and interactivity of urban services, to reduce cost and resource consumption and to improve

contact between citizens and government.

 OBJECTIVES OF SMART CITIES

● To treat cities as spaces to achieve overall devolopment agenda

● A smart city is a resilient and sustainable city that embraces economic devolopment and
liveability and social inclusion, and is:

-More competetive

-Lifts citizens out of poverty

-A great placeto live,work and play

- Environmentally friendly

● Promote the development of smart city pilot projects in cooperation among cities,centers
and companies,with a view to improving citizens quality life.

● Stimulate innovations in governments urban solutions,replicating world wide this smart city
projects.

● Evaluate the impact of smart city projects on wealth creation, job generation,environment
quality and citizens quality of life.

● Improve mobility of people and freight in an urban context with very high level information
and traffic management services, using ITS.

● Development of public/private partnerships and the experimentation of innovative ITS

services.

FEATURES OF SMART CITIES

Smart parking- There will be systems that will alert drivers when there is a free parking
spot.Citizens will no longer waste their time looking for a place to park and the city will be
lesspolluted.
Intelligent transport system- You probably won‟t have to wait to take advantage of this
feature.Many public transport systems are already interconnected. This allows for different public
transports to be coordinated and to provide information in real time.

Traffic management- Monitoring road systems will inform drivers about which route is best at any
given time. Also, it will automatically manage the traffic lights in order to reduce congestion to the
minimum taking into account the traffic volume at certain times of the day.

Waste management- Not all places generate the same kind or the same amount of waste.With
smart containers and a good fleet management system, the routes can be tailored to any situation.

Smart city maintenance- Citizens will now be able to rely on systems to notify the City Council of
any damages in the urban elements through their smartphones. This way things will be repaired
faster.

Tele-care- Some medical consultations will no longer be necessary. There are

monitorizationsystems for patients which keep their doctor up to date when something such as a rise
inblood pressure or sugar occurs.

Digital-signage- Urban ads will be tailored to each citizen and advertising will provide services.
Whereas now we see many concert posters around the city, in the future the customer will have the
chance to actually buy the ticket via the billboard.

What is smart city???

➔ Levereage Technology to serve the people

Smart cities are built around users

➢ They start with an information network.

➢ Design to optimize resources.

➢ And thereby promote sound,sustainable development.

To achieve success in smart city need to balance citizens aspirations with

administrative priorities:

➔ Improve air quality/Environment

➔ Disaster and emergency management

 ➔ Public safety and security

➔ Public transportation

➔ Wi-fi and internet connectivity

➔ Better health and welbing

➔ Better sewage and drainage system

➔ Adequate and quality water supply

➔ Space making parks
