INTERNET OF THINGS IN SMART CITY: A BRIEF OVERVIEW

Abstract

The world desperately needs smarter and more sustainable cities, and IoT has already proven that this can be achieved. A smart city uses Internet of Things (IoT) sensors in urban areas to collect data and automate systems such as traffic, energy use, and waste management. A smart city will help and uplift its residents, attract tourists and investors, and ease living and doing business. It offers a wide range of solutions to present-day challenges such as increasing urbanization, climate change, growing traffic and pollution, etc. This paper presents a short overview on the uses of the Internet of Things in smart cities.
