Description
As cities grow, the demand for sustainable and tech-integrated urban development increases. This paper explores how the construction sector is key in building smart cities by implementing IoT-enabled infrastructure, AI-driven traffic management, and energy-efficient buildings. Key case studies include Singapore’s Smart Nation Initiative and Barcelona’s IoT-based urban planning, both of which showcase the impact of technology on urban sustainability. The paper also examines the role of 5G networks in real-time city monitoring, self-healing concrete for long-lasting infrastructure, and data-driven decision-making in construction. While smart cities present opportunities for sustainable growth, challenges like cybersecurity risks, high costs, and the need for policy standardization remain. The conclusion discusses future advancements such as AI-powered building maintenance, zero-energy districts, and innovative water management systems. The paper provides valuable insights for construction firms looking to contribute to the creative city movement.
