Smart cities have emerged as a critical solution to the challenges posed by rapid urbanization, population growth, and environmental degradation. The concept of a smart city revolves around integrating technology, data, and sustainable practices to improve the quality of life for citizens while optimizing resource utilization and minimizing environmental impact. Urban areas around the world are facing unprecedented pressures due to increasing population densities, rising energy demands, traffic congestion, waste management issues, and pollution. Smart cities address these challenges by leveraging information and communication technology (ICT) and Internet of Things (IoT) applications to create an efficient, resilient, and sustainable urban environment. By doing so, they not only enhance the overall livability of a city but also promote economic growth and social inclusion. The importance of smart cities lies in their potential to transform urban living into a more organized, sustainable, and inclusive experience, allowing cities to function more effectively while meeting the needs of their inhabitants. One of the main reasons smart cities are important is that they provide sustainable solutions to urban challenges. Traditional urban planning often fails to address the increasing demands on energy, water, and transportation systems. Smart cities, on the other hand, use advanced technologies to monitor resource consumption, reduce wastage, and promote renewable energy. For instance, smart grids allow for efficient distribution and use of electricity, while smart water management systems monitor leaks and ensure adequate supply. By promoting resource efficiency, smart cities contribute to sustainable development, which is crucial for reducing carbon footprints and combating climate change. Furthermore, these cities support sustainable mobility through intelligent transportation systems, electric vehicles, and integrated public transit networks, reducing traffic congestion and air pollution. Another key aspect of smart cities is their emphasis on citizen-centric governance. With the help of digital platforms, governments can interact more effectively with citizens, respond to their needs,
