1IoT SMART CITITES
Literature review:
The start city concept is entirely new which is considered to be a successor of the
other concepts like the digital city, informational city and the sustainable city. A literature
review conducted by the Caraglio et al., (2011) was associated with the conceptualization of
the smart city idea which mainly consisted of the below listed facts.
 Development of the cultures along with the society is to be enabled by enhancement of
the administrations efficiency along with the economy as well.
 Special emphasis is to be put upon the business oriented urban development,
 Strong focus upon the goal so as to realize the social inclusions of different kind of urban
residents in the public service,
 Special emphasis is also to be put upon the sign fact role that is played by the creative and
the high-tech industries so as to ensure long term growth,
 having a perspective of paying close attention to the functioning of the social as well as
the relational capital for the development of the city,
 has a vision of considering the social as well as the environmental sustainability which is
considered to be an important section of the smart city.
There also exists other researchers who are associated with indicating the important
necessary ingredients so as to form an important section of the smart cities. Along with this
the other main constituents are the smart economy, smart environment, smart people, smart
mobility and many more. This new concept of smart cities are beyond the definition of digital
cities, information cities and the intelligent cities. The major reason lying behind this is the
contextualization of the different kind of technologies that are generally utilized for favouring
the entire system and the services.

Marsal-lllacuna et al. (2015), in their studies were associated with discussing about the
various experiences that are to be considered while evaluating the smart cities. This
experiences might be including the livable or the environment friendly cities which
encompasses the sustainability along with the living qualities of the people. Besides this the
course has also been discussing about the technological composition of the previously
experienced smart cities.
Besides this other author like Lazaroiu and Roscia (2012), stated that it is necessary to
make sure that the smart cities are capable of representing certain aspects which mainly
includes the technological community, interconnection, sustainability, comfort, attractiveness
and optimized operations of the municipal services. This new reality of smart cities would be
associated with encouraging the involvement of numerous suppliers. Besides this the paper
also stated the fact that technology is to be used so as to manage the urban services in a
proper way.
The work of Schaffer et al. (2011), was later emphasized by the author Kramers et al.
(2014) and in their study they pointed out certain facts which were necessary for having
smart cities and this mainly includes the following:
 Rich environment is to be created which would be consisting of various broadband
network that would be associated with the providing of support to the digital
applications.
 Participatory processes are to be initiated so as to applications responsible for the new
innovations.
The wireless sensor network present in the smart cities acts as a important source of
generating the heterogeneous information in a smart city. The generated information by
various kind of sensors often overlaps partially or entirely. Addressing the various kind of
