Abstract

In recent decades, the world has been witnessing unprecedented growth of urban population. This trend is likely to continue in next decades, which may result in unusual sizes and densities of cities. This leads to social, economical and environmental challenges. Thus, smarter solutions are needed to face these challenges, and to provide better services to the dwellers - by ensuring efficient and optimal utilization of available resources. The emerging technologies like Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, Big Data, advances wireless technologies and smart devices can deliver innovative solutions to the citizens, and lead to the emergence of what is called the “smart cities”. Such fusion of technologies aims to improve overall quality of life in many ways. This paper presents state-of-the-art technologies that are shaping smart cities. Further the paper discusses the challenges that must be addressed to, so that the smart cities become safer, and sustainable.
