Everything You
Wanted to Know
About Smart Cities
The Internet of Things is the backbone.

By Saraju P. Mohanty, Uma Choppali, and Elias Kougianos

T

his article is a single-source introduction to the emerging concept
of  smart cities. It can be used for familiarizing researchers with the vast
scope of research possible in this application domain. The smart city is primarily a concept, and there is still not a clear and consistent definition
among practitioners and academia. As a simplistic explanation, a smart city
is a place where traditional networks and services are made more flexible, efficient,
and sustainable with the use of information, digital, and telecommunication technologies to improve the city's operations for the benefit of its inhabitants. Smart cities
are greener, safer, faster, and friendlier. The different components of a smart city
include smart infrastructure, smart transportation, smart energy, smart health care,
and smart technology. These components are what make the cities smart and efficient. Information and communication technology (ICT) are enabling keys for transforming traditional cities into smart cities. Two closely related emerging technology
frameworks, the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data (BD), make smart cities
efficient and responsive. The technology has matured enough to allow smart cities
to emerge. However, there is much needed in terms of physical infrastructure,
