This document discusses the benefits and challenges of using big data in smart cities. It defines big data and smart cities. Some key benefits of big data for smart cities include better decision making through analytics of large amounts of data from various city systems. However, there are also challenges to address like data sharing, quality, security, and privacy. Effective implementation requires technologies for big data management, processing, security, and algorithms to optimize city operations and resources through interconnected data and systems.

3. INTRODUCTION
Many governments including India are making an
allowance for adopting the smart city concept in their
cities and implementing big data applications that
support smart city components
One of the recent technologies that have a huge
potential to improve smart city services is big data
analytics.
Effective analysis and utilization of big data is a
key factor for success in many business and service
domains, including the smart city domain.

4. WHAT IS BIG DATA ?
Big data is a relative term describing a situation
where the volume, velocity and variety of data exceed
an organization’s storage or compute capacity for
accurate and timely decision making.
An aim to solve new problems or old problems in a
better way
Big Data generates value from the storage and
processing of very large quantities of digital information
that cannot be analyzed with traditional computing
techniques.

6. SMART CITIES
“The concept of Smart City (SC) as a means to enhance
the life quality of citizen has been gaining increasing
importance in the agendas of policy makers. However, a
shared definition of SC is not available and it is hard to
identify common global trends”
“Connecting the physical infrastructure, the IT
infrastructure, the social infrastructure, and the
business infrastructure to leverage the collective
intelligence of the city”
Smart cities make optimal use of all the interconnected
information available today to better understand
and control its operations and optimize the use
of limited resources – I.B.M

7. THE NEED FOR SMART CITIES
 Growing population
 According to Frost and Sullivan, 60% of the world’s
population is expected to live in urban environments
by 2025.
 Resources management (water and energy use)
 Global warming (carbon emissions)
 Tighter city budgets
 Aging infrastructures

IN SMART CITIES

10. CHALLENGES OF BIG DATA IN SMART CITIES
Data and information Sharing
Data sources and characteristics
Data Quality
Security and privacy
Cost
Smart City Population

11. REQUIREMENTS TO IMPLEMENT BIG DATA
Big Data Management
Big Data Processing Platforms
Smart network infrastructure
Advanced Algorithms
Open Standard Technology
Security and Privacy
Citizen Awareness
Government Role

12. CONCLUSION
There is a huge potential for using big data to
address many of the issues involved in smart cities
using analytics for deeper insights and better
decision making practices.
 Smart city will improve governance,enhance the
economic standing of the city, improve the quality of
life of citizens, and create a environmentally
friendly and sustainable infrastructures.
With all success factors in place and better
understanding of the concepts, making a city
smart will be possible.
