Smart City Infrastructure
Smart City Infrastructure is a network of digital and physical systems in cities that use sensors and connected devices to collect and share real-time data about things like energy use, water flow, air quality, and traffic movement. In urban technology, designers use this information to create tools such as interactive maps, smart lighting, and automated waste bins that help people and city workers make better decisions quickly. These systems can connect with each other, so for example, traffic lights can change based on how many cars are coming, or streetlights can turn on when people walk by. Some cities use digital twins, which are computer models that show how the city works in real time, helping designers test ideas before building anything in the real world.
