Smart cities add digital intelligence to existing urban systems, making it possible to do more with less. Connected applications put real-time, transparent information into the hands of users to help them make better choices. These tools can save lives, prevent crime, and reduce the disease burden. They can save time, reduce waste, and even help boost social connectedness. When cities function more efficiently, they also become more productive places to do business. Becoming a smart city is not a goal but a means to an end. The entire point is to respond more effectively and dynamically to the needs and desires of residents. Technology is simply a tool to optimize the infrastructure, resources, and spaces they share. Few cities want to lag behind, but it is critical not to get caught up in technology for its own sake. Smart cities need to focus on improving outcomes for residents and enlisting their active participation in shaping the places they call home. Civilized countries are driving research and development towards greener cities and societies to improve global environmental conditions and to minimize produced pollution. It is not only important to implement different kinds of renewable energy technologies in cities and societies but also it is important to manage the demand and distribution of produced energy to achieve a comprehensive energy solution. A solution that provides green energy for electricity, heating, cooling and transportation needs of communities. A combination of different available renewable energy sources including PV, CPV, CSP, wind, geothermal, tidal, etc. is essential to allow sustainable energy for the cities.
