Smart Cities Using IoT and Artificial Intelligence: A Scalable Architecture for Intelligent Urban Systems
Abstract: Smart cities represent a transformative approach to urban development, leveraging Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to improve efficiency, sustainability, and quality of life. IoT enables continuous sensing of urban environments through distributed devices, while Artificial Intelligence works on the collected data to enable predictive analytics, automation, and intelligent decision-making. This paper presents a comprehensive study of IoT- and AI-enabled smart cities, including system architecture, enabling technologies, real-world applications, and key challenges. A layered architectural model is proposed, integrating sensing, communication, edge/cloud processing, and application services. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of existing smart city frameworks is presented, highlighting limitations and research gaps. Finally, future research directions are discussed, including AI-driven autonomous cities, digital twins, and 6G-enabled infrastructures.
