Smart Cities: Methods, Encounters & Hunt for Future - Survey

One of the most protuberant and auspicious application of Internet of Things is smart cities. For the last few years of the research, the concept of smart city has been evolved to the very large scale. The applications of smart cities provide various assistance in different fields of daily life; these applications include: industries, middleware platforms, academic field, smart living and a lot more. There is a void to be filled in order to transform classical cities into smart cities; with the help of global and common approaches to convert classical cities into smart cities one can design and develop smart cities. This paper discusses the existing research in smart cities, technologies, frameworks, challenges and viable goals along with five vital use cases of smart cities. Furthermore, in this paper the benefits of the smart cities have been reviewed and its application-oriented research along with realistic solutions to fulfill the requirements of smart city has also been highlighted. In addition to this, the paper also provides a stepping stone to future research in the field of smart cities and to design and develop smart systems for smart cities.
