Abstract

With the projected increase by another 2.5 billion in urban population by 2050[1]3 and rise in limitations of urban infrastructure, the shift towards smart cities addresses the need for improved quality of life, enhancing sustainability, and streamlining urban services. A smart city uses interconnected set of devices and sensors, incorporates advanced technology to collect data and automate processes in various domains, including transportation, energy, water management, public safety, and waste management. Internet of Things (IoT) forms the building block of any smart city, providing the real-time data, interconnection and means to optimize resources.
In order to cater for the escalating demand, IoT and smart city together contribute towards the improvement of energy consumption, healthcare, urban management, public safety and innovation. This research will showcase the methodologies, architecture, and data gathering approach which are being used all over the world. The study will in depth discuss about the hybrid architecture that we have used to combine, examine and gather data for a small smart city. Different smart city technologies, their challenges and successful implementation of these in different cities of the world is also presented in the research.
