Abstract

Rapid urbanization and overpopulation in the cities create a demand for the efficient usage of resources for the cities of the near future. Correspondingly, the need for more effective urban management strategy rises up as a current issue. The understanding behind smart cities can fulfil this need for providing a strategy model for urban management. Based on the literature review, this paper researches BIM usage throughout the lifecycle of the smart city (SC) project. This article focuses on the IoT, GIS and BIM integrated SC project model. This model aims to enhance BIM model by providing real time information from built environment to IoT sensors and geographical data to GIS in BIM model. Utilization of this SC project model can be beneficial for the industry to design and construct the smart city as well as for municipality and city government entities to manage the city.

SCs are the improvement of the city by integrating the city's physical infrastructure, information technologies and social infrastructure (Harrison et al., 2010). They are cities that promise economic growth and high life quality through effective management of the city's resources, stakeholder integrated governance and technology-based solutions (Caragliu et al., 2011).
