A smart city is a framework designed to harness the capabilities of innovative technology to connect, protect, and enhance the lives of a city’s residents.By harnessing information and communication technologies (ICT) and the internet of things (IoT), a smart city collects and analyses data from multiple channels to ‘sense’ the city’s environment, providing real-time information to help governments, enterprises, and citizens make better and more informed decisions to improve the overall quality of their lives.
The eleven core focuses for a smart city framework are: air quality, communication architecture, environment, lighting, parking, public wifi, safety and security, transportation, urban mobility, waste management and water management.
