Abstract
The concept of smart city was born to provide improved quality of life to citizens. The key idea is to integrate information system services of each domain, such as health, education, transportation, power grid etc., of the city to provide public services to citizens efficiently and ubiquitously. These expectations induce massive challenges and requirements. This research is aimed to highlight key ICT (Information and Communication Technology) challenges related to adaptation of smart city. Realizing the significance of effective data collection, storage, retrieval, and efficient network resource provisioning, the research proposes a high level architecture for smart city. The proposed framework is based on a hierarchical model of data storage and defines how different stakeholders will be communicating and offering services to citizens. The architecture facilitates step by step implementation towards a smart city, integrating services, as they are developed in a timely manner.

Smart city architecture is characterized by Heterogeneity of networks, applications, devices, platforms etc
Summary
Smart city brings enormous opportunities and exciting challenges. In general, a metropolitan area can be considered as smart when city operations and services such as healthcare, education, transport, parking, and electricity grid are supported through ICT infrastructure in order to facilitate efficiency and ease of operation. A smart city system can be considered as a massive information system comprising of several smaller but efficient subsystems that may be connected with each other Each of these subsystems require efficient and enhanced capabilities to handle components for data storage, information retrieval, networking, and communication. Considering the massive size of cities and increasing trends of urbanization, severity of these challenges and requirements are extensive Considering these challenges, this paper presents a high-level architecture for smart city. Our proposed model focuses on efficient storage and distribution of data in order to facilitate different operations of smart city. Propose a zone-based architecture for data storage and management in order to address key challenges for smart city information system management. Emphasize an open data model for smart city that gives way to third party application development
