Internet of Things (IoT) in Smart Cities: Enhancing Urban Living Through Technology

Abstract

The concept of Smart Cities has gained significant traction in recent years as urban areas grapple with challenges related to sustainability, efficiency, and quality of life. One of the key enablers of Smart Cities is the Internet of Things (IoT), a network of interconnected devices and sensors that collect and exchange data to automate processes and improve decision-making. This research paper explores the role of IoT in smart cities, focusing on its applications, benefits, challenges, and future prospects. By analyzing case studies and existing literature, this paper aims to provide insights into how IoT technologies can enhance urban living and contribute to the development of more sustainable and resilient cities.
