A smart city is a term used to describe a city that uses technology and data-driven solutions to improve the quality of life for its residents, enhance sustainability, and streamline city services. This can be accomplished through using internet of things (IoT) devices, big data analytics, automation and artificial intelligence, and other technologies to improve transportation, energy, healthcare, safety, waste management, and other areas. The goal of smart cities is to create more efficient, sustainable, and livable urban environments that benefit residents, businesses, and governments.
