IoT-Enabled Smart Cities: Real-Time Data Collection for Sustainable Urban Planning and Management

Abstract

The development of Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled smart cities has emerged as a promising approach to address the challenges of urbanization, environmental degradation, and inefficient resource management. Real-time data collection via IoT devices provides valuable insights for urban planners, policymakers, and stakeholders to make informed decisions regarding the sustainable management of city resources. This paper examines the role of IoT in smart cities, the use of real-time data for urban planning, and its impact on achieving sustainability goals. It also explores the potential challenges and solutions for the successful implementation of IoT technologies in urban environments.
