Future cities will (19)_______ that integrates everything from transportation to energy management. Smart sensors, AI-driven systems, and the Internet of Things (IoT) will ensure that resources are used efficiently, minimizing waste and optimizing urban living. Environmental sustainability will be at the core of future city development. (20)________ will prioritize green energy sources, reduce carbon footprints, and implement waste management systems that promote recycling and composting. Urban planning will include extensive green spaces, vertical gardens, and eco- friendly buildings (21)_________. In future cities, connectivity will extend beyond just the internet. Seamless communication between devices, infrastructure, and people will create a highly interconnected environment. Public transportation, healthcare, and emergency services will be more responsive and efficient, thanks to real-time data sharing and automated systems. Cities of the future will be built to withstand and (22)________ by climate change, natural disasters, and other unforeseen events. This resilience will be achieved through innovative building designs, flexible infrastructure, and comprehensive disaster preparedness strategies. Above all, future cities will focus on improving the quality of life for their inhabitants. This will include not only the physical environment (23)________. Cities will promote community engagement, offer a diverse range of cultural and recreational activities, and prioritize public health and well-being.

With the rise of greenhouse gases, debris in our oceans, and trash in our streets, smart cities are fighting back to reduce negative effects on the environment. Energy-efficient buildings, air quality (24)______, and renewable energy sources are providing cities with new tools to shrink their ecological impact.

One of the most pressing issues in a smart city is the secure management of sensitive information. To make informed decisions, a variety of data—ranging from energy consumption to personal details like CCTV footage—must be collected. However, this raises concerns about data security and privacy. The local government must ensure that this information is handled with the highest level of security and is resilient against cyber attacks. Additionally, the collection and use of personal data by authorities can lead to increased social control, which poses significant privacy concerns. Many companies in the smart city sector are relatively new, with business models that have not yet been fully tested or proven profitable. Despite significant investment from cities, these companies need to establish sustainable business practices to ensure long-term viability. Furthermore, the operation of smart cities requires a workforce equipped with specialized skills, which are currently in short supply. To address this gap, cities need to invest in training and educational programs to prepare workers, government officials, and citizens for the demands of a smart city. Transforming an urban area into a smart city requires substantial investment. Buildings need to be renovated or fitted with IoT sensors and high-speed internet connections, and public transport and infrastructure must be upgraded with smart technology. These improvements come with high costs, and cities must carefully evaluate what is necessary to achieve the desired transformation.
