Description
Summary:The Internet of Things (IoT) is an appropriate technology to sustain a smart city operation. This paper presents smart city initiatives driven by citizen insights by exploring the role of IoT applications in modern cities. The research uses a descriptive methodology and employs secondary data only. The research findings indicate the role played by IoT devices to improve people's life by cutting costs and providing efficient services. The paper will provide solutions to a smart city's most common problems: policing, environmental issues, traffic congestion, affordable healthcare facilities, wireless connectivity, and open data initiatives. IoT devices allow devices to connect, store, and share data through sensors, networks, etc., within a smart city. These electronic and mechanical devices are connected to the internet and cloud to form a smart city infrastructure system. Citizens interact with these technologies to improve their lives as humans depend on machines to virtually do every work.
