Smart City in Contemporary Times with Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence

The smart city strategy drives the creation of innovative solutions to the challenges of urban planning in cities. With its data collection capacity, the Internet of Things (IoT) is a key component of Information and Communication Technologies in smart cities. Likewise, Artificial Intelligence (AI) provides a set of vital tools for data analysis and service optimization. This article presents a discussion on the use of IoT in conjunction with Artificial Intelligence to obtain new solutions for planning, management, and services in smart cities. The analysis is based on a literature review that seeks to identify answers to questions involving urban planning in cities, the structuring themes of smart cities, AI techniques, and data collection. The results point to a powerful synergy between IoT and AI, aiming to develop innovative, effective, and integrated services to address the challenges of contemporary urban planning.
