“…Real-time interaction and communication with IoT technologies, big data applications, and the huge amount of stakeholder's information can be used resiliently and sustainably, thereby allowing them to reach their full potential (Kyriazis et al, 2013). A sustainable smart city can use the power of IoT and big data to improve its services.…”

The expansion of big data and the evolution of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies have played an important role in the feasibility of smart city initiatives. Big data offer the potential for cities to obtain valuable insights from a large amount of data collected through various sources, and the IoT allows the integration of sensors, radiofrequency identification, and Bluetooth in the real-world environment using highly networked services. The combination of the IoT and big data is an unexplored research area that has brought new and interesting challenges for achieving the goal of future smart cities. These new challenges focus primarily on problems related to business and technology that enable cities to actualize the vision, principles, and requirements of the applications of smart cities by realizing the main smart environment characteristics. In this paper, we describe the existing communication technologies and smart-based applications used within the context of smart cities. The visions of big data analytics to support smart cities are discussed by focusing on how big data can fundamentally change urban populations at different levels. Moreover, a future business model that can manage big data for smart cities is proposed, and the business and technological research challenges are identified. This study can serve as a benchmark for researchers and industries for the future progress and development of smart cities in the context of big data.

“…Likewise, the IoT application areas encompass environmental monitoring and protection (air and water quality and atmospheric conditions), urban infrastructure monitoring and management, waste management, energy management, medical and health systems, public safety, environment and disaster, building automation, natural ecosystems, transportation, and large-scale deployments in relation to smart cities (e.g. Vongsingthong and Smanchat 2014;Dlodlo et al 2012;Kyriazis et al 2014;Li et al 2011;Gubbi et al 2013;Lu and Wang 2010;Yang, Wang and Yue 2012;Rico 2014;Vermesan and Friess 2013). Overlapping with AmI, SenComp application areas involve transportation, safety and environmental impact, traffic and street light control systems, energy conservation, waste management, measuring and surveying buildings, civil security, and social and public services (e.g.…”

Implying a drastic shift in such dimensions as citizens and urban entities as users of new technologies, the prevalence of novel applications and services across diverse urban domains, and the urban players involved, coupled with the scale of the emerging ICT industry consortia and urban markets, ICT of the new wave of computing for urban sustainability as a productive and constitutive network operating on all urban scales not only produces new objects of knowledge (in the form of sciences, disciplines, fields, philosophies, and rationalities), but also generates technological artifacts, orientates technological innovations, steers technological investments, catalyzes transformations, shapes institutional developments, constitutes institutional bodies, and regenerates and creates new urban environments in the ambit of smart sustainable cities.…”

Visions of future advances in science and and technology (S&T) inevitably bring with them wideranging common visions on how cities as social fabrics will evolve in the future as well as on the immense opportunities and potential risks this future will bring. Situated within what is described as science of science, this study analyzes the nature, practice, and impact of ICT of the new wave of computing for urban sustainability as a form of S&T. Specifically, it probes the ways in which this form has emerged from a variety of perspectives, and why it has become institutionalized and interwoven with politics and policy-urban dissemination-within the defining context of smart sustainable cities. Also, it addresses the risks this form poses to environmental sustainability in the context thereof. To achieve these aims, an analytical and philosophical framework of Science and Technology Studies (STS) is adopted, which supports analyses and evaluations whose approaches are drawn from a variety of disciplinary and theoretical perspectives. The study shows that smart sustainable cities are produced by the socially constructed understandings and socially anchored and institutionalized practices pertaining to ICT of the new wave of computing for urban sustainability and thus medicated by ecologically and technologically advanced societies. Accordingly, these cities as a manifestation of scientific knowledge and technological innovation are shaped by and also shape techno-scientific, socio-cultural, and politico-institutional structures. Moreover, the study demonstrates that the success and expansion of ICT of the new wave of computing for urban sustainability and thus smart sustainable cities stem from the morphing power, knowledge/power relation, productive and constitutive force, and legitimation capacity underlying computing and ICT as science and science-based technology. These are, however, shown to pose risks to environmental sustainability. Hence, they need to be reoriented in a more environmentally sustainable direction, as they can not, as currently practiced, solve the environmental problems placed in the agenda of smart and sustainable cities as a holistic approach to sustainable urban development.
