Information and communications technology is integrated into urban systems,
helping to provide public services more effectively. For example, through mobile
applications, people can easily search for information about transportation,
destinations, and entertainment activities.
For example, automatic lighting and temperature regulation in buildings help save
energy. In addition, the use of smart public transport and self-driving cars helps
reduce polluting emissions.
Another drawback of smart cities is their dependence on technology. If technology
systems fail or are attacked, public services could be disrupted. This poses
challenges for maintaining stability and ensuring security of smart cities.
In my opinion, the benefits are greater, and people will find a way to adapt to the
new lifestyle and overcome the challenges.
1. Reduce pollution through renewable energy sources.
Renewable energy sources, like solar and wind, can significantly reduce pollution
and create a cleaner environment.
2. Improve transportation systems with advanced technologies.
Such as self-driving cars, hyperloop networks
3. Enhance public safety using AI and surveillance.
AI and surveillance systems enhance public safety by detecting and preventing
potential dangers.
Example: AI-powered cameras in London can detect unattended bags and alert
authorities to potential threats.
4. Provide better living conditions with green spaces and eco-friendly
infrastructure.
provide healthier and more comfortable living conditions for communities.
Example: Central Park in New York City offers residents a place to exercise, relax,
and enjoy nature.
5. Increase productivity with smart technologies.
Smart technologies increase productivity by simplifying tasks and boosting
efficiency in work and daily life.
Example: Smart home devices like automated lights and voice-controlled assistants
save time and energy.
1. Increase dependency on technology.
If technology systems fail or are attacked, public services could be disrupted.
2. Widen the gap between the wealthy and the poor.
The steeply development of the economy
3. Raise concerns about privacy with extensive surveillance.
Because the high-tech hacker can access into the camera of the city or the city
dellwer’s camera to use those videos or image with cruel purposes without
permission
4. Cause high costs for development and maintenance.
Developing and maintaining advanced cities can require high costs, making it
difficult for some areas to afford.
Example: Smart city projects in Dubai cost billions of dollars, making it hard for
poorer countries to replicate
5. Impact the environment during the development phase
Construction of smart buildings in New Delhi caused significant air and noise
pollution.
