The requirement and effectiveness of making cities smarter, about the potential market size, about trials and tests. Increasing population density in urban centers demands suitable provision of services and infrastructure to meet the needs of city inhabitants, surrounding residents, workers and visitors. The utilization of information and communications technologies (ICT) to achieve this objective presents an opportunity for the development of smart cities, where city management and citizens are given access to a wealth of real time information about the urban environment upon which to base decisions, actions and future planning. This paper presents a framework for the realization of smart cities through the Internet of Things (IoT). The framework encompasses the complete urban information system, from the sensory level and networking support structure through to data management and Cloud based integration of respective systems and services, and forms a transformational part of the existing cyber-physical system. This IoT vision for a smart city is applied to a noise mapping case study to illustrate a new method for existing operations.
