Review of smart cyber city: keys requirements, tools and issues

With the continuous growth of the urban population, the world is confronting numerous challenges in the near future of cities, related to environmental, economic and social aspects (e.g., traffic congestion, air pollution, waste management, etc.). The smart cyber city concept is introduced as a solution to achieve sustainability, effective management of energy, and smart living. Designing such complex systems with such features is an equally complex challenge. The cyber physical system (CPS) and the Internet of thing (IoT) are keys to achieve the realization of current smart city. In this paper, a survey of smart city vision is given while highlighting the potential benefits of a smart cyber city. A bibliometric network with Vosviewer software was created in order to select the most significant papers. It reviews smart city's key requirements and smart city enabling technologies. It then highlights the potential role of CPS and IoT. Finally, an outline of future research areas is given. Copyright (c) 2023 The Authors.
