Abstract
Urban development is becoming increasingly reliant on effective use of intelligent services. In the process of providing better services to all citizens and improving the efficiency of administration processes, the concept of a smart city has been lauded as a promising solution for the coming challenge of global urbanization. However, due to the broad scope of smart cities their definition has not been standardized, thus proposed architectures are diverse. This work proposes a new architecture from the perspective of the data that underpins all the functionality of smart cities. The proposed architecture is discussed, outlining design challenges and offering insight into the development of smart cities.
