Blockchain technology is being integrated in smart city architecture to enhance urban connectivity and safety. The intention of this article is to compare Smart Cities to create that of the 'Quality of Life' through the adoption of digital technology and data, overcoming interoperability, security and data management issues. Here, blockchain offers a solution as it assures security, data integrity, and transparency. It could transform data governance, public services, transportation, and energy management. Decentralized energy grids also engage in peer-to-peer energy trade that helps reduce dependency on centralized power systems. To increase communication security between vehicles and infrastructure in the presented paper, blockchain technology has been successfully used. This can enable people to make better decisions without disrupting the system. It can also enhance public services by providing secure platforms for voter registration, identity verification and public records management.
