Abstract

The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) and edge computing technologies has revolutionized the concept of smart cities by enabling the seamless integration of various urban systems. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the role of IoT and edge computing in building smarter and more efficient cities. We discuss the key components of IoT and edge computing and their applications in different aspects of smart city development, including transportation, energy management, public safety, and healthcare. We also highlight the challenges and opportunities associated with the implementation of IoT and edge computing in smart cities and propose strategies to address these challenges. The findings of this paper can serve as a valuable resource for policymakers, urban planners, and technologists interested in leveraging IoT and edge computing technologies for the development of smart cities.
