摘要

Over the last decade, different smart cities worldwide have started employing enabling technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, big-data, digital twin and cloud computing to encourage citizens to conserve natural resources, use public transport to reduce carbon emissions. However, by integrating these enabling technologies with behavioral intelligence, scientific research and trans-disciplinary knowledge can enable smart cities to drive inhabitants more efficiently, and these urban hubs will be able to meet their sustainable development goals (SDGs). Sustainable growth depends on the successful management of transparent and inclusive urban development, particularly in low income and lower-middle income countries where rapid urbanization is expected to reach 50% and 59% on average by 2050. Further, this study sheds light on current issues as well as challenges and future research where the above technologies can promote socio-economic and techno-environmental development, and become a catalyst for the implementation of the concept of smart cities leading to a sustainable future. Keeping in mind the need for sustainability globally, this study presents a participative bottom-up and cognitive top-down paradigm that focuses on developing self-sustainable smart cities where sustainability is at the centre of governance, inhabitants, business, and all other related entities.
