Summary
The scope of the smart city is much wider than what is covered in this chapter and will touch the lives of city residents in multiple ways.
This chapter demonstrated how IoT patterns can be used to realize some of the use cases. Additionally, the chapter provided details related to implementation nuances (sensors, actuators, connectivity, etc.) and how these change from one use case to another. The list of use cases provided is by no means exhaustive and the reader is encouraged to use the knowledge gained in this chapter to devise solutions that would solve particular problems/issues that are prevalent in their city.
In the next chapter, we will continue this journey and examine some use cases that are relevant in the retail domain and how they can be implemented using architectural patterns.
