A smart city is a region that utilizes Information and Communication technologies to boost organizational efficacy, share information with the public and improve the quality of public services as well as the safety of residents. This uses different forms of IoT sensors to gather and then use information gained from that knowledge to effectively control properties, resources, and services.

To maximize the effectiveness of urban operations and services and to connect with citizens, the concept Smart city integrates Information technology and communications (ICT) and various physical devices associated with the internet of things network. The idea of promoting the Use of Information Communication Technology to change the environment for life and work in the area. This helps to boost municipal resources efficiency, efficacy, interactivity, reduce costs and resource consumption and increase public-government interaction. Smart cities have brought about major technology, economic and environmental changes, including global climate change, economic restructuring, online retail, and entertainment transition, aging populations, urban population growth, and public finance pressures. Smart urban applications are designed to manage urban flows and to enable real-time solutions Another common platform in smart city contexts is electronic cards (so-called smart cards). These cards have a unique encoded identifier allowing the owner to log in to a range of services (or e-services) provided by the government without multiple accounts. The universal identification allows states to collect information regarding residents and their desires to improve service provision and recognize the group's common interests.

The image of an area of great infrastructure with high buildings, lovely bridges across the river and lights all over the night gives you a short picture of a city. It gives us an overview of a lot of other factors about a city, including the economic conditions, type of people and living standards within a city. Smarting Cities can strengthen and develop their infrastructure and services by using technologies, information, and data.
It will monitor the city crimes by the use of video surveillance, criminal activity and take drastic protective measures to protect women, children, and elderly people.
The construction and improvement of parks, playfields and recreation facilities would reduce public hearing impacts. Living spaces are designed for and to boost the standard of living for the growing population.
The smart city offers access to resources such as water and electricity. It offers affordable homes, ensures quality education with smart learning and health care with new technologies that increase the probability of living of the people.
Improving transit connectivity and creative solutions such as smart parking, traffic maintenance, and advanced modal transport. Smart cities will be friendlier for tourists and bikers at shorter and cycling intervals with essential municipal facilities.
An intelligent waste management network approach is a basic requirement for a safe and accessible environment such as smart bins and the smart city concept aims for its best in this sector management.
By reducing waste generation and also employing a careful consumption of natural resources, infrastructure will be more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
Further government services will be rendered and available to people. Services will be offered online and will provide the public with greater accountability, transparency, and participation. E-group creation would allow citizens to express their views and to receive feedback, tracking programs and activities through cyber tour operations.
