Abstract: The concept of smart cities, driven by digital transformation, is reshaping urban management by leveraging cutting-edge technologies to improve the quality of life, sustainability, and efficiency in urban spaces. This research paper explores how digital transformation is influencing the management of smart cities, emphasizing the integration of digital tools such as Internet of Things (IoT), big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud computing. These technologies are used to enhance urban services across sectors such as transportation, energy management, healthcare, and governance, facilitating real-time data analysis, automation, and citizen engagement.The paper discusses key elements of digital transformation in smart cities, including the role of data-driven decision-making, IoT infrastructure for monitoring and controlling urban systems, and the potential of AI and machine learning to optimize city operations. Furthermore, the research examines the critical challenges that cities face when adopting these technologies, including cybersecurity risks, data privacy concerns, digital inequality, and the need for robust governance frameworks. A successful smart city requires careful integration of technological solutions with urban planning and policy-making to avoid these pitfalls.
