The Internet of Things (IoT) is a computing paradigm whereby everyday life objects are augmented with computational and wireless communication capabilities, typically through the incorporation of resource-constrained devices including sensors and actuators, which enable their connection to the Internet. The IoT is seen as the key ingredient for the development of smart environments. Nevertheless, the current IoT ecosystem offers many alternative communication solutions with diverse performance characteristics. This situation presents a major challenge to identifying the most suitable IoT communication solution(s) for a particular smart environment. In this paper we consider the distinct requirements of key smart environments, namely the smart home, smart health, smart cities and smart factories, and relate them to current IoT communication solutions. Specifically, we describe the core characteristics of these smart environments and then proceed to provide a comprehensive survey of relevant IoT communication technologies and architectures. We conclude with our reflections on the crucial features of IoT solutions in this setting and a discussion of challenges that remain open for research.

“…In addition to the above, several studies also highlight the importance of smart homes and buildings [25][26][27], smart transportation [28][29][30][31], smart energy and resource management [32,33], and smart media displays [34], which may boost the interaction between cities and their residents, and therefore, leads cities to become smarter and more sustainable. Findings of these studies are further supported by numerous other studies [35] suggesting that the implementation of various smart systems would foster the environmental, economic, and social development of smart cities.…”

Environmental externalities of the Anthropocene—mainly generated from population growth, rapid urbanization, high private motor vehicle dependency, the deregulated market, mass livestock production, and excessive consumerism—have placed serious concerns for the future of natural ecosystems, which we are a part of. For instance, global climate change—the biggest challenge we have ever faced—is directly impacting wellbeing, and even the existence of humankind, in the long run. During the last two decades, the notion of the smart city—particularly the sustainable development of smart cities—has become a popular topic not only for scholars, particularly in the fields of technology, science, urban and environmental planning, development, and management, but also for urban policymakers and professional practitioners. This was due to digital technologies becoming a powerful enabler in stimulating paradigmatic shifts in urban development-related visions, strategies, implementation, and learning. This paper offers a critical review of the key literature on the issues relating to approaches, advances, and applications in the sustainable development of smart cities. It also introduces contributions from the Special Issue, and speculates on the prospective research directions to place necessary mechanisms to secure a smart and sustainable urban future for all.

“…The transmission and distribution infrastructure of the state requires immediate maintenance and upgradation so that the above mentioned parameters lie on much lower side of the scale which in turn can help in transforming its cities into a smart city. Smart grid is an alternative which could help in reduction of T&D losses [22]. However, the up-gradation of current transmission and distribution system into smart grid is a time taking and tedious task.…”

Access to reliable electricity is one of the key enablers of social and economic development. Smart energy and electricity network are one of the key factors in making a city smart; a detailed analysis considering aspects like environmental, energy, economic and societal impacts have to be done for their harmonized inclusion in the smart city design. Increasing energy demand and environmental concerns has led the way for cost effective microgrids with energy storage and backup generation which helps in minimizing energy imbalance, reducing losses and carbon emission, enhancing the overall reliability and resilience of the system. This paper first discusses the main impact of deployment of microgrids in smart cities considering different aspects like societal, economic and environmental. In the later stages of the paper a benefit analysis of microgrids adoption in one of the smart city located in the state of Uttar Pradesh is presented in terms of reliability enhancement and reduction of system losses.
