such as water, electricity and roads which assist the city for transforming itself efficiently as
smart city and the budgeting and financing of the smart city includes the consideration of aspects
such as recreational facilities and development of public areas such as parks. The budget of the
city also reflects the aspect of water availability and sewage treatment which further reflects that
the budget gives more focus on electricity, water, transport and further recreational facilities
within the city as for supporting the city as smart city (Dorota, et. al., 2019). The smart city
budget spends more on essential services rather than areas such as parks and recreational
facilities as the city lacks behind in essential services which required to be improved and

while our smart city budget focuses more on essential services like water, electricity and roads as
for being a part for smart cities of world (Boukhris, et. al., 2016).
