Abstract: An individual living in a city can take advantage of a wide range of services and opportunities available to them in a broader and more permanent ecosystem of human activity. There is no doubt that cities are experiencing rapid urbanization and population growth. This is putting a lot of pressure on their infrastructures and service delivery systems as a result of this rapid urbanization and growth. It is evident that in order to improve the quality of life in an urban environment as a result of current urbanization, strong strategies and innovative planning are needed. As a result of becoming more digitized, intelligent, and smart, there are several cities around the world that have acquired a better quality of life and improved the efficiency of their urban services. In order for cities to be able to survive in the future, it is more important than ever to diagnose where they stand in terms of sustainability and quality of life for their inhabitants, and to begin building urban resilience to withstand future challenges. Smart cities are not about connectivity and technology; they are about improving the quality of life for city residents in order to achieve a sustainable future. The end goal of smart cities is to have a sustainable future. It is undeniable that smart cities are a compelling case for sustainable development, and there is no doubt about that. In order for any city to become a smart city, it is imperative that we recognize that technology alone will not be sufficient for us to achieve our goal of making it an intelligent city. A smart city will be able to gather a great deal of information about its residents with the installation of different sensors located throughout its community. A variety of methods can be used to achieve this, including the measurement of air quality and the automatic removal of pollutants.
