Obviously, with the development of technologies, smart cities can improve city dwellers' quality of life such as

Better traffic
Traffic is one of the main issues for many city residents, but smart city technology offers some solutions. For
example, intelligent traffic lights can improve traffic jams and flow. In many cities, public transport users can
track their bus or train locations and change routes if needed.
Efficient energy use
As there is a growing population, natural resources can be used up. Smart technologies give the households the
tools to identify and reduce unnecessary waste of water and electricity. Smart sensors now allow people to
know leaks in water pipes and fix them in a shorter amount of time.
Better health
City dwellers can ask their doctor for some advice via video calls and timely messages about vaccinations or
sanitation. Technologies can also help community health by remind users of following healthy lifestyles.
Safer cities
Smart city technology like cameras and sensors can improve safety or help people cope with dangerous
situations. New camera features like facial recognition, fire, and smoke alarm, and even door locking and
unlocking all help lower the risk of crime. These technologies work together to make communities safer.
