Abstract
The concept of smart cities holds the promise of generating economic, social, and environmental values by seamlessly connecting urban services and infrastructure through digital technologies. The rise of smart sustainable cities is driven by the recognition of the pressing need to address environmental challenges, enhance social well-being, and improve the overall quality of urban life. The idea of smart and sustainable cities promises to leverage digital technologies to address pressing sustainability challenges, but it requires careful consideration and action to ensure that the interests and priorities of various stakeholders, including citizens, are incorporated, effective collaboration is fostered, and self-serving outcomes are avoided. Despite these enormous benefits, there are limited number of smart cities round the world. This paper provides in-depth understanding of smart and sustainable cities in terms of, how it works, existing smart cities in the world, requirements for building smart cities, and challenges facing the development of smart city. Among other observations, lack of cooperation among relevant stakeholders slows down the rapid development of smart cities round the world. The paper recommended that effective collaboration among stakeholders, including local government, ICT firms, and citizens, should be prioritized to boost widespread development of smart cities.
