What is a smart city?
A smart city is a concept that refers to integrating technology and data to improve the quality of life for citizens, increase efficiency and sustainability, and enhance the overall management of a city. The goal of a smart city is to use technology and data to make urban areas more livable, efficient, and sustainable. This can include using sensors, internet of Things (IoT) devices, and data analytics to improve transportation, energy management, public safety, and other city services. Smart city initiatives often involve collaborating with government, private industry, and citizens to design and implement technology solutions that address specific urban challenges.
These modern cities can implement infrastructures (of water, electricity, gases, transport, etc.), communication, and sustainability to improve citizens’ comfort while developing environmental protection.
