Introduction
In today's increasingly urbanized world, where 60% of the population resides on just 2% of the land, traditional urban development and sustainability practices are insufficient to meet the needs of densely populated areas. To address the challenges posed by this urbanization, technology has emerged as a crucial solution for accommodating a large number of people in limited spaces. The investment in smart cities is projected to reach $135 billion by 2022, reflecting the growing recognition that smart cities are not merely a trend but a necessity for the modern world. Smart cities hold the key to our future, integrating technology to create a harmonious living environment that efficiently utilizes resources and enhances the quality of life. However, technology alone cannot transform cities. Across the globe, there is a growing dissatisfaction with the government and public sector services. Therefore, it is imperative for governments aspiring to develop smart cities to focus on innovation and transformation of public sector practices.
