Summary:
|
Recommendation ITU-T Y.SC-Overview provides an overview of smart cities and communities (SCC) and the role of information and communication technology (ICT).
Smart cities and communities in general, share the end goal of achieving an economically sustainable urban environment without sacrificing on the quality of life (QoL) of their citizenry. A smart city and community strives to create a sustainable living environment for citizens using the Internet of things (IoT), enabled by information communication technologies (ICTs).
An IoT-based infrastructure, enabled using ICTs, can continue to play a pivotal role in smart cities and communities by functioning as a platform for the aggregation of information and data to facilitate an improved understanding of how the city is functioning in terms of resource consumption, services and lifestyles.
