Ashiq Hamid, Harsh Dhunna

Abstract


A smart city is an unknown development vision to integrate multiple information and communication technology (ICT) and internet of things (IOT) solutions in a secure fashion to manage a city’s assets. Making a city “Smart” is emerging as a strategy to mitigate the problem generated by the urban population growth and rapid urbanization. The paper proposes a framework to understand the concept of smart cities and its impacts on the environment. There are four critical factors of smart city initiatives management and organisation, technology economy and natural environment. These factors determine the frame work of the smart cities.
