| Abstract |
The first disruptive sociological wave came in between 1760s and 1830s. It was Industrial Revolution and it brought transition towards new manufacturing processes for factories, steam engines, electricity grids, etc. The second major sociological wave was the Political Revolution which brought the thought provoking political rebellion from Democracy versus Communism. The third and largest disruptive sociological wave struck around 1950s and 1970s was the Digital Revolution which changed the whole world with the massive usage of digital technologies like digital computing and information and communication technologies. For the progress of every nation, cities are playing an important role of a backbone for the economic growth. Around 54% of the world's population lives in urban areas and it is expected that it will reach around 66% by 2050. India's current population staying in urban areas is nearly 31% which contributes to 63% of India's gross domestic product (GDP) and it will reach around 50% by 2050 and will contribute 75% of India's GDP [1]. These numbers reveal the increased pressure on the current urban environment. This growth demands all-inclusive development of social, physical, institutional, and economic infrastructure. For improvement in the quality of life of the urban areas, smart city is the solution toward growth and sustainable development. But the ease of life kind of luxuries always comes with security and safety risks. Almost all cyber-physical systems are prone to cyber threats. A robust and secure smart city is the right of every citizen. |
