Abstract The smart city aims to ease the city-related decision by facilitating its citizen with the appropriate information at the right place and at the right time. IoT-based systems provide a foundation for smartification of services by enabling person-to-object and object-to-object communications. However, there is a challenge in integrating the IoT in city services to make the city smart. This paper put forward an objective to identify and prioritise the challenges in the implementation of IoT in the smart city. IoT devices represent emerging decentralised computing era and have capability to communicate with other computing devices over a network. Ten challenges to IoT implementation in making cities smart were identified using literature review and expert’s opinion. Further, TOPSIS approach is used to analyse the identified challenges. The findings suggest that the major challenge is IoT interoperability, as companies are developing IoT solution independently by utilising different platforms which result in poor integration in the devices and data security issues. The companies need to develop an open-source platform to promote an interoperable framework. The study will help the practitioner and policy planner in realising the potential challenges in IoT implementation and easing the life of the citizen. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2020.
