Abstract

The rapid growth of urban populations has created significant challenges in city management, including traffic congestion, energy consumption, waste management, healthcare services, and public safety. The Internet of Things (IoT) [1] has emerged as an important technology that enables cities to become smarter and more efficient. IoT refers to a network of interconnected devices such as sensors, cameras, vehicles, and smart infrastructure that communicate with each other through the internet. These devices collect and exchange real-time data, allowing city administrators to monitor and control urban systems effectively. This review paper examines the major applications of IoT in smart cities, including transportation systems, energy management, waste management, healthcare services, and security systems. The paper also highlights the benefits and challenges of implementing IoT technologies in urban environments. The findings suggest that IoT can improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance the quality of life for citizens. However, issues related to security, privacy, and infrastructure must be addressed for successful implementation.
