Abstract
Increasing urbanization cannot be avoided and occurs throughout the world, including in Indonesia. Population growth in urban areas has various impacts in almost all dimensions of life. One of the innovative efforts made by the government to overcome these problems is to develop and implement the concept of a smart city, by utilizing information and communication technology (ICT) to provide services to improve the quality of life of the community and maintain the sustainability of the urban environment. This study discusses a literature review on environmental quality degradation which occurs in urban Indonesia as well as initiatives in one of the dimensions of a smart city, namely the smart environment, which can be applied to overcome these environmental problems. The literature review shows that the application of IoT by using sensors and RFID, data cloud, and Twitter has been proven successful in overcoming some environmental problems.

This study presents a literature review on environmental degradation in urban Indonesia as well as initiatives in the framework of a smart environment that can be applied to overcome these problems
The results of the literature review show that there has been a significant increase in energy consumption, an increase in waste, a decrease in air quality and a decrease in green open space in urban Indonesia
Summary
The trend of urban population growth occurred globally in the world, characterized by 55 percent of the population living in cities in 2018 [1]. It is projected that by 2030 the urban population will reach 60 percent, and this trend will continue until 2050 and increase to 68.4 percent of the total global population [6]. The same thing is happened in Indonesia, namely in 2015 more than half of Indonesia's population inhabited urban areas and it is supposed to increase to 67 percent by 2035 [6]. Urban growth and development make cities have to bear very heavy burdens and slowly raise various problems from various fields of life, one of which is the environment. The extent of the impact on the environment is determined by the consumption pattern and lifestyle of urban population [6].
