A smart city is an urban area where technology and data collection help to improve quality of life as well as the sustainability and efficiency of city operations. Smart city technologies used by local governments include information and communication technology (ICT) and the Internet of things (IoT). A city becomes smarter when it updates its systems and structures to incorporate ICT, IoT and other smart technologies to play increasing and important roles as well as in transportation, energy and infrastructure. Data collection by technology, which includes real-time data, are central to smart city initiatives and the benefits inherent to help local governments improve urban planning and the deployment of city services, ranging from waste management to public transportation, street lights, excellent drainages, and so on leading to better quality of life for residents. Smart cities can also reduce carbon emissions, thereby assisting to address climate change and improving air quality. An efficient city services can be an engine for driving economic growth and better infrastructure and technological innovation that would encourage job creation and business opportunities. The paper delves into the benefits, challenges or probable bottlenecks and the ways forward towards the development of sustainable smart cities.
