Abstract
The digital transformation of cities into smart urban ecosystems creates a vast and complex cybersecurity attack surface. This paper provides a foundational survey of this threat landscape, systematically deconstructing the smart city's anatomy from a security perspective. We analyze inherent vulnerabilities within key technologies like IoT, 5G/6G, AI, and cloud/edge computing. The survey presents a multi-dimensional taxonomy of threats, classifying them by attacker intent, target asset, and vector, while examining domain-specific vulnerabilities in transportation, energy, and healthcare. A forward-looking analysis of emerging threats is also provided. The objective is to establish a comprehensive, structured understanding of the threats themselves, offering an essential baseline for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers dedicated to securing the cities of tomorrow.
