Abstract
Urbanization is rapidly transforming the global landscape, necessitating innovative solutions to address the challenges posed by growing populations in cities. The concept of smart cities, underpinned by the Internet of Things (IoT), offers a promising approach to enhance urban living while promoting sustainability. This paper delves into the integration of IoT solutions within smart cities, examining their applications, benefits, and the challenges that cities face in their implementation. Through case studies and analysis, we explore how smart cities can improve resource management, enhance the quality of life for residents, and contribute to sustainable urban development. The findings highlight that IoT technologies are essential in creating efficient, resilient, and environmentally friendly urban environments.
