Abstract

The smart city policymakers are incorporating environmental sustainability ICT that contribute to making future cities more sustainable and intelligent future energy networking. Since technological innovation is moving in several directions (smart construction, smart mobility, e- health, e-government, etc.), cities should embrace policy, technology, awareness and retrofitting. Smart city energy disruption solution and evolution of the fourth industrial revolution (4IR) allows organization to be self-sufficient in terms of managing respective supply and demand. The internet of things (IoT) is a key enabler for smart cities where, together with communication and network devices, sensing devices and actuators are major components. The evolution supports smart network towards smarter technology that improve the quality of life. The key role in the ICT support framework is played by local administration and government and they can carry out control and supervision of the organization at various levels. Smart city is a centralized system; therefore, not only should citizens be able to 'actively participate in demand side management', but they should also be major providers of feedback, participate in the design approach and be the recipients of personalized services.
