Abstract

Smart Cities are undergoing rapid transformation driven by advanced tools, technologies, and significant investments worldwide. These cities aim to balance growth with environmental sustainability, emphasizing reduced carbon footprints, lower harmful emissions, and optimized energy consumption. Despite progress, Smart Cities face critical challenges, including traffic congestion, water scarcity, energy inefficiencies, waste management, limited citizen participation, and complex IT infrastructure maintenance. These challenges, although varying in scope and scale, are common across regions. This paper examines key challenges encountered during the development, operation, and maintenance of Smart Cities and explores how ICT and digital technologies address these issues effectively. High-impact technologies such as IoT, AI, Machine Learning, Blockchain, Data Analytics, Digital Twin, 5G, and Cloud Computing play a pivotal role in delivering innovative solutions. Using a systematic literature review and primary data from our research, the study highlights the application of these technologies in resolving operational and developmental challenges. Case studies and insights from industry professionals underscore the transformative potential of digital tools while acknowledging certain limitations. The findings emphasize the importance of prioritizing solutions for pressing issues in Smart Cities and offer recommendations for enhancing the deployment of these technologies. Future plans are discussed to achieve full-scale implementation and address current limitations, fostering continuous innovation and improvement in Smart City services.
