| Summary: | The population of cities is increasing day-by-day. According to United Nations, it is estimated that by 2050, 66% of the world’s population will live in cities [item 1) of the Appendix]. This is indicative of a drive to live in more privileged and smarter environments. Therefore, there exists an increased demand for intelligent and sustainable environments that offer citizens of urban areas a high quality life. Smart cities may be a solution. Millions of dedicated and reliable sensors are required in smart cities to enhance the quality of urban living. Communications infrastructure is inevitably required for connecting these sensors. In order to better manage urban resources, there exists a need to explore issues like deployment of sensors, communications technologies, information management, and defining and deploying proper smart city applications.
