Cities around the world face a wide range of challenges due to dramatic population increases and continuing urbanization trends.
These challenges include the need for optimal transport, reliable energy supply, health services, asset management, and location-based services. Managing these challenges and fulfilling the growing expectations of societies is possible with smart city vision. This vision is already applied in many cities but with varying success.
As a futuristic approach to Smart Cities, digital innovations with accurate spatial and temporal information of locations and the environment can help to construct and to transform the technology and vision. These transformations rely on data science, smart sensing (ground, air, and space), AI, and machine learning and are integrated with Sustainable Development and Net Zero goals.
