Abstract: Smart cities integrate advanced Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to optimize urban planning and management. IoT enables real-time data collection, efficient resource management, and enhanced citizen engagement, offering solutions to critical urban challenges such as energy consumption, traffic congestion, and public safety. This paper explores the convergence of IoT with urban planning, emphasizing its role in sustainability, infrastructure optimization, and quality-of-life improvement. Through case studies, we examine the successes and challenges in IoT-driven smart city projects worldwide and propose a framework for implementing such solutions in diverse urban contexts.
