Photonics Dictionary

smart cities: Smart cities are urban environments that use information and communication technologies (ICT) and data-driven solutions to optimize city operations and services across various domains such as transportation, energy, healthcare, public safety, and governance. These technologies enable cities to collect, analyze, and utilize data in real-time to make better decisions, improve sustainability, enhance urban mobility, and increase citizen engagement.

Key characteristics of smart cities include:

Integration of technologies: Integration of IoT (Internet of Things) sensors, data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and communication networks to monitor and manage city functions efficiently.

Sustainability: Focus on reducing environmental impact through efficient resource management, renewable energy adoption, and sustainable urban planning.

Improved services: Provision of better services to residents, such as optimized transportation systems, smart grids, healthcare services, and public safety measures.

Citizen engagement: Empowerment of citizens through digital platforms and services that facilitate participation in decision-making processes and enhance quality of life.

Smart cities aim to address urban challenges, promote economic growth, and create inclusive, resilient communities by leveraging technology and data-driven approaches to transform urban living.
