Abstract: IoT is an emerging technology where the devices are associated with communicating
with the other devices or to the network by making use of the internet. The large scale adaptation
of the IoT has been done by almost every fields which are associated with making the lives of
people much easier. The IoT has been applied in the cities as well which has been associated
with making the lives of people easy by simplifying the way of life. The implementation of IoT
is associated with bringing a lot of advantages as well as disadvantages. The data is collected by
making use of the various sensors which are then processed and analysed in order to monitor and
manage the various kind of activities occurring inside a city. This report would be associated
with discussing about the implementation of the IoT in the cities so as to make the lives of
people easier.

Introduction
The recent communication paradigm of the future technological development that has the
potential to transform everything around the human world and equip communications with
digital and microcontroller-based communication is the Internet of Things or IoT (Arasteh et al.,
2016). Nowadays, IoT is being utilized for developing Smart Cities, which would enable easy
and accessible interaction with a huge number of different equipment like the appliances used at
home, cameras responsible for surveillance, sensors associated with monitoring, actuators, and
many more. This would be the topic for the further research that would follow as below.
Purpose of the report
Given the complex scenario of the modern world, where with every upgrade of the
technological world, adding to the urbanization of the society has made adopting the latest
technological developments; the incorporation of IoT has become inevitable in the modern
society. Therefore, various governmental powers all around the world have been giving into the
push of adapting to these technological advancements and invested into developing the Smart
Cities. It is understandable that an urban IoT would be able to bring about huge benefits right
from its inception to management and optimization of different urbanized system of a city, like
traffic services, crime management, surveillance and many others. Therefore, there must be a
research done for the IoT technology implementation in Smart Cities. The structure of the
research report would be described below detailing to all the aspects of the research regarding
successful implementation of IoT in Smart Cities. This research would be done keeping in mind
