Smart Cities:Transforming urban living with IOT

Abstract:

The rapid urbanization of our world presents unique challenges such as congestion, pollution, and inefficient resource management. This presentation delves into how the Internet of Things (IoT) stands at the forefront of addressing these urban challenges, transforming cities into smart urban ecosystems. Through real-world examples and theoretical models, we will explore the pivotal role of IoT in enhancing city life through smart transportation systems, utilities, healthcare, and governance. Despite the transformative potential, the deployment of IoT technologies comes with its own set of challenges, including issues of data management, network security, device interoperability, and system integration. This talk will not only highlight the benefits and the challenges but also discuss potential pathways forward through innovative technologies, collaborative policy-making, and robust public-private partnerships aimed at creating sustainable, data-driven urban environments. Join us to uncover how smart cities can leverage IoT to become more efficient, safer, and inherently sustainable.
