The advancement and global practice of information and communication technology (ICT) have led to its fundamental consideration in the development and navigation of cities. This has called for the need to have innovations using technology to improve the quality of life and enhance natural environment. Therefore, this chapter is aiming to provide further understanding and clarity on smart cities with inclusion of several initiatives and examples already applied in practice within the UK and across other countries.

Key recommendations are provided for policy developers, local authorities, academics, and students interested in the field.
