Abstract

In 2050, the United Nations predicted that 70% of the global population would be living in urban areas, and such intense urbanization will mainly take place in developing countries. However, although living in cities improves the residents' quality of life, a massive urban population, bringing about a shortage of infrastructure and serious environmental pollution, will burden the society and government. In order to avoid these problems, the concept of a smart city, which takes advantage of advanced computer technology to make the city livable and sustainable, has been mentioned frequently for the last decades. This paper, intending to provide some directions for students of engineering, introduces one core technology used to construct smart cities and two aspects of smart cities.
