Smart Cities: Enhancing a Smart Framework for Energy Infrastructure

Abstract

Smart cities are known to modernize urban concepts by implementing technology that uses big data to improve quality of life, transportation, livability, governmental operations, as well as to increase sustainability in infrastructure. The international scientific community’s rising concern for environmental issues has created a need for eco-friendly cities. This need attracts the interest of many different economic sectors, including although not limited to government, corporations, researchers and engineers. This project investigates the integration of smart city infrastructure within the University of Bridgeport to further evaluate its effects on sustainability.
