Abstract

The concept of smart cities has emerged as a transformative approach to addressing urban challenges while promoting sustainability and enhancing quality of life. This paper explores the integration of smart city technologies as a strategic framework for achieving urban sustainability goals. Key components include the deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, data analytics, and digital infrastructure to optimize resource management, improve efficiency in public services, and mitigate environmental impact. By analyzing case studies and current trends, this study underscores the potential of smart city technologies to foster innovation, resilience, and inclusive growth in urban environments. Ultimately, it advocates for a holistic approach where technological integration is leveraged to create sustainable, livable cities for present and future generations.
