On a more macro scale, robotic applications, algorithm-based applications, A.I. and other digital technologies will be implemented on a city-wide scale, turning entire cities into “smart cities”. The utilization of cloud computing, energy management and enhancing the standards of living, practice sustainable development and bringing about live-able cities are also criteria for defining smart cities. The urgency and significance of building smart cities lies in the reality that more than half the globe’s denizens now live in urban cities.
