DESCRIPTION:A smart city relies on widely distributed smart devices to moni
 tor the urban environment in real-time\, collects information for intellig
 ent decision making\, and facilitates various services to improve the qual
 ity of urban living. The distributed network of intelligent sensor nodes\,
  as well as data centers/clouds where sensor data are stored and shared\, 
 constitutes a smart city infrastructure. Smart cities address urban challe
 nges such as pollution\, energy efficiency\, security\, parking\, traffic\
 , transportation\, and others by utilizing advanced technologies in data g
 athering and communications interconnectivity via the Internet. It provide
 s real time and remote monitoring for different aspects of data management
  in areas such as transportation\, communication\, video surveillance\, an
 d sensors distributed throughout the city. Simultaneously\, the Smart City
  building blocks like education\, telemedicine\, health care\, IT applicat
 ions\, pollution management\, etc. can be deployed in the IEEE Smart Villa
 ge initiative to have a greater impact on the rural population throughout 
 the world. through reliable electricity and internet connectivity.\n\nSpea
