What has been noticed in last few years is its support in transforming cities smarter with the help of its high-power data exchangeable and controllable capabilities. The "Technology Trends" today has observed IoT as the most popular and essential technology deployed for urbanization which allows governments to control data to design and manage modernized cities. The usefulness of IoT is witnessed in creating advanced infrastructure that manages the increasing population of cities. IoT sensors are installed to monitor every detailed activity of cities starting from the traffic, surfing conditions, and noise. Good transportation, safety measures, communication, and planned infrastructures are required to run a city smoothly and IoT is just making that successful by pairing intelligent sensors with Big Data capabilities. Construction companies are thus installing IoT devices and solutions in their architectural plans to provide qualitative, cost effective and self-sustainable infrastructures.City services are majorly interconnected and can be defined as a complex web of activities occurring among the citizens and the infrastructure. Efficient management and superior interconnected technology is required to be generated to make a smart work seamlessly. Therefore, developing a smart city also involves augmented connectivity. More to it, expert decision making and reliable data should also be implemented to make a city infrastructurally rich and efficient.The latest issue of APAC CIO Outlook brings "Top 25 Smart City Solution Providers" of 2017.
