“…Smart technologies' potential environmental benefits, which are expected to reduce the environmental impacts of consumerism, are limited (Viitanen & Kingston, 2014). Furthermore, many smart cities are nearing capacity in terms of pollution and overcrowding (Saba et al, 2020). While Guevara & Auat Cheein (2020) demonstrated that smart cities house more than half of the world's population, consume half of the world's economic output, and generate half of the pollution, these rates are expected to worsen.…”

The purpose of this research was to create a model that contributes to the transformation of Riyadh into a sustainable smart city, as well as to assess the extent to which Riyadh meets the requirements of smart cities in light of the proposed model. To achieve the study's objectives, the descriptive survey method was used, with a questionnaire that included (30) items to collect appropriate data from the study sample, which consisted of (400) specialists in the field of smart sustainable cities. The study's findings revealed that the model for transforming Riyadh into a smart sustainable city is built on a number of components, including sustainable urbanization patterns, urban systems and domains, data sources and storage services, cloud computing, big data applications and services, and urban communities and their activities. The study's findings also revealed that the developed model's contribution to the transformation of Riyadh into a smart sustainable city was significant, as the arithmetic mean of the respondents' responses to the components of the study model as a whole was high (3.85). Based on these findings, the study recommended that the city of Riyadh review the urban patterns of modern residential neighborhoods and increase their environmental efficiency, as well as expand the establishment of urban observatories that deal with urban and environmental affairs and emphasize their role in the interim review of residential neighborhoods, which supports the city's urbanization path. The study also recommended that the city of Riyadh develop and build massive data centers distributed across several regions, as well as work to enable the use of renewable energy production sources, in addition to consolidating Riyadh's role as a regional center for cloud computing and an attractive technology investment based on innovation in the region.

“…In this manner, the application layer executes that choice when the information management layer chooses. Citizens do not understand the middle tier of data management, so their perception of performance gains depends only on the outcome of the application tier [115]. Therefore, while maintaining interoperability between other intelligent applications, higher-layer intelligent systems must analyse the uncertain needs of citizens and deliver them with the highest precision.…”

Smart City has been an emerging research domain for Government, Businesses, and researchers in the last few years. The Indian government is also interested and investing lots of funds to develop smart cities. These cities are technology-based and require interdisciplinary research and development for successful implementation. Over the last few decades, various technological interventions have created a tendency to provide smart everyday objects to make human life more comfortable. The emergence of the smart city paradigm is a response to creating a future city that guarantees the well-being and rights of its citizens from the perspective of industrial development: industry, urban planning, environment, and sustainable development. There are several subdomains in the smart city for the research. To work with the different subdomains in a smart city, proper guidance about the background of the smart city is required. This research paper is a guide for the same. This research paper represents a systematic literature review of the smart city domain. This paper carries out a systematic review of research papers published in various well-reputed journals like IEEE, Springer, Elsevier, etc., between 2011 and. This paper will help the government, businesses, and researchers aiming to enhance the smart city concept. Initially, this paper discusses the origin and emergence of this concept, followed by a few definitions and characteristics with the real roadmap and primary supporting pillars of the smart city. This paper discusses a typical architecture having different layers like Sensing, Transportation, Data Management, and Application Layers. There are various supporting technologies and platforms for the smart city; hence implementations are impossible without these technologies and media. This research paper discusses different components of the smart city. A broad literature survey is being done to observe various challenges, opportunities, and future trends in the smart city. This research paper can guide the researchers and provide the research direction in the smart city domain.
