Towards the Sustainable Development of Smart Cities Through Cloud Computing

Abstract

AbstractSmart cities are the most interesting, visible, and challenging usage of emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud Computing, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Everything in smart cities becomes connected to everything else. The emergence of smart cities solutions understands how cities thrive through service responses, data collection, analysis, and citizen communication. Everything can explore, strategize, and adjust in real-time through sensors and devices. Several services can be made available in cloud computing, and people of smart cities can use those services in real-time. A smart city can respond rapidly and smartly that necessitates human life, eco-friendly security, public protection, and city contributions, among the things. Cloud computing is now widely employed in a variety of fields. All information will be available on the cloud, and clients will access all communication at any time and everywhere they wish. What are the advantages of cloud computing in the construction of a smart city? It is also studied how cloud computing promotes the development of a smart city and what social conditions are appropriate for making full use of the infrastructure needed to build a smart city using the cloud. Cloud computing gives a new realistic technique to share resources and help as a form of navigation and application styles in terms of infrastructure and administrator. The global business machinery association and CISCO provide a high-level perspective of smart city statistics to adapt to the developments in smart cities. Governments worldwide are paying particular attention to IoT, AI, and cloud computing, and they have published practical instructions to promote emerging technologies and smart cities. In this chapter, the authors explore the roles of emerging technologies in smart cities.KeywordsCloud computingSmart citiesAIUrban developmentIoT
