Abstract: 
The rapid advancement of technology has brought transformative changes to urban infrastructure, reshaping the way cities function and interact with their inhabitants. Smart technologies, including IoT devices, data analytics, and artificial intelligence, have revolutionized traditional urban systems. Intelligent transportation systems optimize traffic flow, reducing congestion and emissions. Smart grids enhance energy efficiency and sustainability, while digital sensors monitor and manage critical infrastructure, ensuring resilience and quick response to emergencies. The integration of technology into urban planning enhances resource allocation, promotes sustainability, and improves overall quality of life. However, challenges such as data privacy, digital inequality, and the potential for cyber threats necessitate careful consideration in the adoption of these technologies. Balancing innovation with ethical and equitable implementation is crucial to harness the full potential of technology for sustainable and resilient urban infrastructure.
