Abstract
This study reveals that increases in the global population command an augmented demand for products and services that calls for more effective ways of using existing natural resources and materials. The recent development of information and communication technologies, which had a great impact on many areas, also had a damaging effect on the environment and human health. Therefore, societies are moving toward a greener future by reducing the consumption of nonrenewable materials, raw materials, and resources while at the same time decreasing energy pollution and consumption. Since information technology is considered a tool for solving ecological difficulties, the green Internet of things (G-IoT) is playing a vital role in creating a sustainable home. Extensive data analysis is required to obtain a valuable overview of the large and diverse data generated by the G-IoT. The gathered information will facilitate forecasting, decision-making, and other activities related to smart urban services and then contribute to the incessant development of G-IoT technology. Therefore, even if sustainable and smart cities become an actuality, the G-IoT approach and the knowledge gained through big data (BD) analysis will make cities more sustainable, safer, and smarter. The goal of this article is to combine innovation in technological development with the main focus on resource sharing in creating cities that improve the quality of life while reducing pollution and realizing more efficient use of the raw materials. In the practice of big data science, it is always of interest to provide the best description of the data under consideration.
1. Introduction
Current works of literature predict that the world’s population will reach over 11 billion by 2045 compared to the unknown population of 7.6 billion. Therefore, smart technologies must prevail, e.g., for a productive economy to thrive on both local and global levels, interconnectedness and innovation must prevail through environmental conversation, green house buildings, natural energy usage, and green urban planning, among others. For a smart government to thrive, open data analysis and availability, regulated information, communication, technology for the public domain, and electronic government to enable enough products and services for smart living, health, safety, cultural vibrancy, happiness, integrated information, and mixed-modal access must prevail. In addition, the general population must embrace creativity.
Modern medicines and improved living conditions are the main reasons for the increase in the world’s population. There are 25 big cities in the world with a population of over 11 million, and 1.5 million people move to cities on a daily basis. It is projected that the Internet of things (IoT) will lead to smart cities and then to a smart world (see Figure 1).
