The idea of a smart city has become increasingly relevant lately. It's all about making city life better by using digital tech and new methods. As cities grow bigger and faster, they have to deal with things like traffic jams, pollution, and limited resources. To solve these issues, we can use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to run urban systems smoothly. Cities can use AI to make transport better, save energy, and make cities safer for everyone. This text will look at how AI can create interconnected, smart urban areas. It also highlights how important it is to plan carefully and involve the public. The aim is to show that if AI is used correctly, it can change cities into places that are sustainable and can handle the needs of the future. Smart cities are all about using technology and data to make life better for people in urban areas while making things more efficient. It also changes how people interact with the city by using various digital tools and connected systems. These systems improve services, transport, living conditions, and safety. Smart cities are important because they can help solve problems like climate change and crowded cities. The way smart cities combine sustainable methods shows how connected social, economic, and environmental factors are. It also shows that we need to take a broad view of how cities grow. Therefore, using Artificial Intelligence to build smart city systems is key to creating sustainable and adaptable cities for the future.
