Inculcation of Sensors in Enhancing Smart Cities: A Review

By 2050, experts predict that 75% of people on Earth will live in cities. As such, cities need to be prepared to fulfill the needs of their citizens and provide the best possible services. The idea of a “smart city,” which is an improved system that effectively manages its resources and services via monitoring and communication technology, is often central to the notion of an advanced city. Thus, turning cities into smart entities is a critical step toward global urban sustainability. Beyond creating smart buildings in cities, the main goal is to improve people's quality of life by using newly developed digital technologies and sensing capabilities. The key to smarter communities is their capacity to invest in these technologies, adapt, and socialize in a transparent and inclusive manner while taking into account the needs and values of the local and regional communities. Despite these developments, privacy issues and interruptions in cyber security remain serious weaknesses that need addressed.
