In recent decades, technology has become a defining force in the development and transformation of cities. From the industrial revolution to the rise of the internet, technological advancements have continually reshaped urban life, making cities hubs of innovation, connectivity, and economic growth. Today, as cities face growing populations, climate change, and resource constraints, technology plays a central role in addressing these challenges while also opening new possibilities for urban living. The integration of digital technologies, automation, and data analytics is driving what we now recognize as the emergence of "smart cities," where every aspect of urban life is enhanced by technology. These advancements not only improve efficiency but also offer the potential to foster more sustainable, livable, and equitable urban environments.

The influence of technology in cities extends across various domains, including infrastructure, transportation, healthcare, and governance. In terms of urban infrastructure, cities are adopting digital systems for managing everything from electricity grids to water distribution, allowing for more responsive and efficient service delivery. Transportation has also undergone a transformation with the introduction of autonomous vehicles, electric cars, and new mobility services like ride-sharing, reshaping how people move within cities and reducing the environmental impact of urban travel. Similarly, the integration of sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) devices enables real-time data collection that informs city management, improving everything from traffic flow to waste management.
