Abstract

The idea of smart cities is significant because it seeks to improve a city's infrastructure, traffic, governance, water and waste management, power management, health, safety and security, education, and other systems in order to raise the standard of living for its citizens. This chapter explains the idea of “smart cities” and lists all of the advantages. It explains the many services and applications needed to create a smart city, as well as the part ICT technologies play in putting them into practice. In addition, the difficulties with the current ICT systems are examined in relation to the deployment of smart cities. The chapter explores the anticipated characteristics of 5G technologies and explains why they might be the most effective solution for implementing smart cities successfully. Researchers and practitioners in the field can both benefit from this research, which offers a reflection on the state of the art, the use of 5G in smart cities.

Smart Cities

The term “smart cities” first arose in print in the late 1990s, and since then, other strategies have been created. The term “smart city” is still used to refer to a variety of urban situations rather than a specific city. Examples include virtualized cities or city guides on the web, knowledge bases that serve local needs, business relocation-attracting ICT-enabled agglomerations, ubiquitous environments, metropolitan-wide ICT infrastructures that provide e-services to citizens, and most recently, ICT infrastructure for ecological use (Car et al., 2023, pp 377-389).
