Smart cities utilize technology and data to improve infrastructure, operations, and services for citizens. Masdar City in the United Arab Emirates is an example of a smart city that runs entirely on renewable energy and uses sensors and automation to control various city functions. Smart cities require open data, cross-sector collaboration, new technologies, and education to implement systems that improve mobility, safety, and sustainability through approaches like machine-to-machine communication and electric transportation.
