Smart cities and internet of things

ABSTRACT The enormous pressure towards efficient city management has triggered various Smart City initiatives by both government and private sector businesses to invest in Information and Communication Technologies to find sustainable solutions to the diverse opportunities and challenges (e.g., waste management). Several researchers have attempted to define and characterize smart cities and then identify opportunities and challenges in building smart cities. This short article also articulates the ongoing movement of Internet of Things and its relationship to smart cities.
