Smart Cities

A smart city uses information and communication technology and IoT sensors to manage assets, resources and services efficiently.

The goal is to improve quality of life, sustainability and the delivery of urban services.

Components of a Smart City

Smart cities integrate intelligent transport, smart grids, water and waste management, surveillance and e-governance through a network of sensors and data analytics. Real-time data helps optimize traffic, energy and emergency response.

Civil engineers play a key role in designing the resilient, sustainable infrastructure that supports these digital systems.
