Course Summary
A smart city is an urban area that integrates advanced technologies and innovative solutions to enhance the quality of life for its residents, optimise resource utilisation, and improve overall efficiency. These cities leverage interconnected sensors, data analytics, and communication technologies to gather and analyse real-time information, facilitating informed decision-making.
The design and development of smart cities is poised to revolutionise the future by addressing contemporary urban challenges such as traffic congestion, pollution, energy consumption, and resource management. Smart city initiatives also aim to create sustainable environments through the integration of smart infrastructure, efficient transportation systems, and responsive public services.
By fostering connectivity and leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT), smart cities have the potential to enhance urban living standards, reduce environmental impact, and promote economic growth. The future impact of smart city development extends beyond mere technological advancements, influencing societal behaviour, economic structures, and governance models, ushering in a new era of interconnected and intelligent urban landscapes.
