IoT can provide real-time data and insights into urban operations and infrastructure by connecting various devices, systems, and people.
In the face of rapid urban population growth, IoT and the smart city offer the most promising solutions. Throughout a metropolis, Internet of Things (IoT)--connected sensors are installed to monitor and record data on traffic, energy consumption, and garbage collection. Smart cities improve urban efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance the quality of life. Smart cities extensively use Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to improve asset, resource, and service management by increasing data collection and insight development.

Realizing the potential of Smart Cities will require public-private cooperation and security by design.
The idea of smart cities is starting to take shape as the digital era develops. A city that has developed a public-private infrastructure to support waste management, energy, transportation, water resources, smart building technology, sustainability, security operations and citizen services is referred to as a "smart city". Realizing the potential of Smart Cities will require public-private cooperation and security by design.

In a time where population growth sparked mass urbanisation, our cities have become the epicentres of transformative change, teeming with opportunities and challenges alike. The surge in urban populations has propelled cities into a new age, a digital and technological renaissance that promises greater operational efficiency and a greener, more sustainable future. At the same time, there are a complex web of operations and challenges, demanding innovative solutions and strategies to meet the evolving needs of our ever-expanding urban communities.
There are several critical issues caused by urbanisation that need to be addressed – not least the its impact on climate. The rapid growth of urban areas and the associated increase in energy consumption have a profound effect on the environment. The adoption of digital technologies, while offering numerous benefits, can also contribute to higher energy consumption, which further exacerbates the climate crisis.

The summer of 2023, with its extreme heat waves and fires, may be remembered as a tipping point in the public perception of climate change. But we may also be at a tipping point in terms of how cities manage transportation and services to reduce the emissions that affect climate change. With Inflation Reduction Act funding for emissions reduction and greater resilience, and advanced hardware providing tools to pursue those goals, U.S. cities in particular have an opportunity to become smarter, safer, and more sustainable. These developments also represent an opportunity for companies that develop hardware and data analytics solutions.
