A smart city is a technologically modern urban area which uses electronic methods and sensors to collect and record specific data. This information is used to manage assets, resources, and services efficiently while improving operations. The focus of a smart city is to augment city functions, promote economic growth and improve the quality of life for the citizens by using smart technologies and data analysis.
