Influence of IoT &AI in place making and creating Smart Cities

Abstract

It has been many years now the concept of smart city evolved, with the beginning of a new era in urban innovation called Smart cities. Since that time there has been many studies made to discuss and understand this new concept with its application and acceptance worldwide. It is very obvious that smart cities will make things much complex but also ease our life style with high-tech solutions at the urban context. The study discusses various smart initiatives of top three ranked smart cities (London, Singapore & Seoul) by the smart government and the user experience. However research still fall short to understand the success of participatory design in use of smart concepts and the smart knowledge in day-to-day life. Policy makers and practitioners both need to deal with these progressive developments and digital connections. One example of this is the popular anonymous England based street artist who is known for his satirical street art regarding political activism, social causes and ironic realities of civic life. This work can truly be experienced in person yet does not require any digital media to enhance the experience. In order to explore the recent scenario of smart cities a survey is conducted to analyze the role of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in place making of Dubai. Though smart cities bring many complexities with them but same time they also ease and improve lifestyles. IoT and AI are very essential key elements during the entire process of planning for smart cities.
