Abstract

The significant increase in urbanization has led to cities of unprecedented sizes and densities. The trend towards mega-cities is likely to continue in the next decades and will lead to even higher concentrations of populations in urban areas. They pose challenges from an economic, social, and environmental point of view. To face these challenges, smarter solutions are needed. Specifically, new approaches in information and communication technology are required. New paradigms such as the Internet of Things, advances in wireless technologies, and smart devices have fostered the emergence of what is called the Smart City. Smart Cities aim to improve supply, waste disposal, transport, security, and the overall quality of life in the towns of the future. This chapter describes the state-of-the-art technologies that form the base of future living.
