Abstract

Information Technology is changing the evolution of cities. The notion of “growing” cities based on implementing correct urban planning is being replaced with the idea of making a city “smart”. ICT is key driver of smart city initiatives and improving quality of life in urban areas. To do all this an intelligent infrastructure is required which work together to collect multi-source, contextual data, and to carry out integrated functions. These capabilities lead to intelligent infrastructure which should be more cost-effective than its traditional counterparts, as well as significantly more adaptable and useful. This paper describes the various important component of infrastructure to make useful and successful smart city concept.
