Smart cities

Smart cities are urban areas that integrate advanced technology and data analytics to enhance infrastructure, streamline services, and improve residents’ quality of life. By leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and artificial intelligence, these cities optimize resource management, reduce environmental impact, and boost efficiency. Smart cities utilize interconnected sensors and devices to monitor and manage everything from traffic flow and public transportation to energy consumption and waste management. The goal is to create a more responsive, efficient, and sustainable urban environment. Examples include smart lighting systems that adjust based on real-time conditions and intelligent transportation networks that reduce congestion.
