A city is defined as a group of living and nonliving objects; cities generally have good systems for housing, transportation, hygiene, services, among other things. In prior years, a larger amount of the population was rural, whereas in modern times, the concept of urbanization and a mass exodus to cities has had a profound impact of sustainability on a global scale. A smart city is a concept that participates in information and communication technology with the use of various physical devices to help reduce and optimize the city's daily routine. When thinking of a smart city, one can imagine a layered architecture with infrastructure at the bottom; and connectivity accessibility in security systems in the middle; and at the top are different services that are gearted towards various consumers of the city.
