Need for Smart Cities:

The global population has entered the peak phase of modernization, which involves easy access to cutting edge technology. If you are living in an urban setup, you are already surrounded by an intelligent network of interconnected gadgets that are part of your daily routine. The idea of a ‘smart city’ can be defined as a sustainable framework that comprises information data and communication technologies to create & organize practices that smartly support urbanization.

The discussed framework comprises wireless technologies such as interconnected devices and the cloud, thereby acquiring a significant share. To endorse such a concept the likes of the Internet of things (IoT) & Machine learning (ML) are preferred without any doubt. These technologies can absorb the various demands of urbanization through the delivery of innovative and smarter options aimed towards comfortable living.
