Abstract	Smart city technologies offer transformative opportunities for developing countries but face challenges such as infrastructural deficits, financial constraints, outdated policies, and digital divides. Despite these obstacles, technologies like IoT, AI, and big data enable resource optimization and efficient urban management. Successful initiatives in India, Kenya, and Brazil demonstrate the potential for enhanced governance and urban resilience. To fully realize these benefits, developing countries must strengthen digital infrastructure, foster Public- Private Partnerships, and implement policy standardization and cybersecurity measures. Investing in digital literacy is crucial to bridging the technological gap. Strategic planning and collaboration can help these nations leverage smart city solutions for sustainable urban growth and improved living conditions. © 2025, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
