This research presents a modern framework that combine quantum computing and blockchain technologies to transform city management in provision for the 6G era. Quantum computing is recognized for its extraordinary processing power, while blockchain is known for its security, privacy, and transparency. these modern technologies can leverage from the 6G technologies capabilities like high speed, low latency, high bandwidth with giant connectivity. The idea of the study comes due to the few comprehensive standards and frameworks that facilitate the effective employment of these advanced technologies in the context of 6G. The proposed Quantum-Blockchain-6G (QBG) Framework main objective to leverage these emerging technologies with 6G capabilities to bridge the gap by providing the proper guidelines and framework to manage city management infrastructure with the help of efficient delivery of the required services. we used mixed method as interviews with expert, systematic literature review and case studies for this study to explore the challenges for integration of blockchain and quantum computing in 6g technology context and developed strategic framework for these challenges and evaluate its impact in the management activities in city management. This research will highlight critical challenges, relate to the quantum computing such as the complexity and cost and blockchain scalability. Furthermore, the study will investigate the integration the threads of advanced cryptographic measurement to mitigate quantum threats. This framework is precisely designed to empower cities management by utilizing the power of these emerging technologies that use 6G to meet the future connectivity demands in city management to make it smarter, faster, secure and trustworthy for the society.
