SMART CITY

A smart city is a technologically modern urban area that uses different types of electronic methods
and sensors to collect specific data. Information gained from that data is used to manage assets,
resources and services efficiently; in return, that data is used to improve operations across the city. a
smart city uses a framework of information and communication technologies to create, deploy and
promote development practices to address urban challenges and create a joined-up technologically-
enabled and sustainable infrastructure.

By utilising smart technologies and data analysis, a smart city aims to improve citizen quality of life,
optimise city operations, and foster economic growth. Instead of just how much technology is
accessible, the value is in how it is used.

A smart city ought to offer a good quality of life for its citizens while simultaneously fostering
economic development.

This entails providing citizens with a variety of connected services while paying less for
infrastructure.

The following traits are used to assess a city's intelligence:

a technologically centred infrastructure

environmental programmes

dependable and efficient public transit

resolute and forward-thinking municipal plans

those who can use the riches of the city to live and work there

Energy
Modern energy infrastructure such as solar panels and battery
systems.
Agriculture
Agricultural technology such as seawater greenhouses that
can use solar heating to distill fresh water and grow crops.
Transportation
Advanced transportation technology such as high speed train
or air traffic control systems.

Smart Cities
Infrastructure for improving the quality of life and resilience
of cities such as an earthquake warning system.
Building Technology
Building technology such as the smart windows in an office
building or cooling systems in a data center.
Space
Basic systems, hardware and vehicles for supporting a space
program.
Telecommunications
Foundational networking and communications services and
equipment at the scale that connects regions, nations and
cities. For example, an internet backbone.
For all of the benefits offered by smart cities, there are also challenges to
overcome. These include government officials allowing widespread participation
from citizens. There is also a need for the private and public sectors to align with
residents so that everyone can positively contribute to the community.
The largest challenge is quite probably that of connectivity, with thousands or
even millions of IoT devices needing to connect and work in unison. This will
allow services to be joined up and ongoing improvements to be made as demand
increases.
Technology aside, smart cities also need to account for social factors that
provide a cultural fabric that is attractive to residents and offer a sense of place.
This is particularly important for those cities that are being created from the
ground up and need to attract residents.

Urban areas can be made smarter and more connected to the rest of the world in order to improve
quality of life, maintain sustainability, and make the most use of available resources.

These solutions rely on a concerted effort by the public sector, the corporate sector, and the citizens
themselves. However, with the right infrastructure and support, smart cities may employ
technological advancements like the Internet of Things to improve the quality of life for citizens and
develop integrated living options for the expanding global urban population.
