Smart Cities, also called SCC or Smart and
Connected Communities, are being enabled thanks
to the revolution happening in the Internet of
Things (IoT).

But what exactly is a Smart City? The
International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) and International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) refer to a smart city as the
system of systems.

It improves public services through the merging
of critical infrastructure like energy and
transportation systems, and new technologies such
as sensor networks and infrastructure.

Home Environment

• A Smart City will enable its residents to have
  up-to-date energy-related information such as
  current energy prices, supply and demand, weather
  forecasts, etc. City systems will also link to
  devices in the home, such as solar panels, smart
  energy meters, electric car charging ports and
  smart appliances to better manage energy
  consumption across the city.
• Caring for elderly family members will be
  improved through the use of health tracking
  devices that can automatically alert family and
  city departments to health emergencies.

City Environment

• A Smart City will help its citizens make
  decisions from where to invest money, to where to
  go for lunch. Measurement of foot traffic across
  the city will help entrepreneurs understand where
  to open new businesses like restaurants, retail
  stores, dry cleaning, etc.
• People with allergies and asthma will have the
  ability to map routes in the city that dont
  trigger their symptoms. The Netherlands is
  currently running a pilot program where citizens
  install sensors in their homes and businesses,
  and then data collected from GPS-enabled inhalers
  used by a group of citizens is used to correlate
  between air quality and allergies around the
  city.

Commuting

• The normal morning or evening rush, experienced
  by most people, will be eased by accessing
  car-sharing services from a smartphone app.
  Centralized monitoring, control of traffic
  lights, and direct communication between city
  infrastructure and autonomous vehicles, and
  between vehicles themselves, will enable a
  smoother commute.
• A smart citys public transportation will be
  always available, optimized and affordable.
