ABSTRACT

The concept of smart cities leverages the Internet of Things (IoT) to address urban challenges such as environmental sustainability, economic vitality, and social equity. By integrating IoT with city infrastructures, urban management becomes more efficient, allowing for real-time data collection and analysis across various domains such as transportation, energy, and public safety. This paper explores the design, implementation, and challenges of smart cities, highlighting the role of IoT in transforming urban environments into sustainable and resilient spaces. Case studies from cities around the world demonstrate the practical applications and benefits of IoT-enabled urban management, while also addressing potential challenges such as cybersecurity and data privacy.

Keywords: Smart Cities, Internet of Things (IoT), Urban Management, Sustainability, Real-time Data.
