Smart city is a concept aimed to provide a set of new generation services and infrastructure with the help of information and communication technologies (ICT). Smart cities are differentiated in terms of their governance, technological advances, economic benefits, and social and environmental standards. Globally, there are about 700 cities, each with population exceeding 500,000 and are growing with a faster rate than the averae urban growth. This opens up the market for industry players to grow their business in new and emerging smart cities. The infrastructure investment for these cities is forecasted to be $30 trillion to $40 trillion, cumulatively, over the next 20 years.

With the growing emphasis on reducing carbon emissions and the fact that conventional cities form a major source of CO2 emissions, planning a smart city becomes a viable option for governments and municipal authorities. Deploying technologies such as smart grids, smart metering for energy management; electric vehicle and traffic management with smart transportation and smart security are high growth areas within smart cities. Thus, smart transportation, smart security and smart energy management are considered to be the most important components in smart cities. As citizens and governments are becoming more environment conscious, there is a push for tougher regulations aimed at reducing carbon footprint, thus, driving the market. Time and resources management benefits achieved through smarter technologies is another major advantage that smart cities have over traditional infrastructures.
