A Review on Integration of IoT as an Approach for Energy Saving in Smart Sustainable Cities

Abstract Rapid urbanization has been happening around the world, leading to many challenges and difficulties in infrastructure, communication network, transportation, environmental and organizational problems. Proper and responsible management of urban resources plays a significant role in sustainable development. Smart sustainable cities use information and communication technologies (ICTs) to improve quality of life, efficiency of urban operation and services. The latest advancement in communication, technology, data management, and Internet of Things (IoT) provide a tremendous role for practical implementations and adoption of devices and entities. Smart sustainable cities can be intellectualized as an innovative approach of controlling urban resources and valuable components based on the latest advancement in Information and Communication Technology. Our study focuses on reviewing and discussing the literature that states the vital components of IoT associated with smart sustainable cities in general and specifically with green energy.
