Abstract
A smart city is a municipality that uses technology and data to improve the quality of life for its citizens. Sustaining the needs of citizens in a smart city includes identifying and addressing specific community needs and concerns such as transportation, energy, public safety, and environmental sustainability. This may include the introduction of smart infrastructure and services such as smart traffic lights and air quality sensors, as well as citizen engagement through digital platforms and citizen engagement initiatives. In this article, we will look at what defines a smart city and what infrastructure services must be provided in order to comply with the principles of a smart city.
