Abstract This paper investigates the ability of utilizing City Information Modeling (CIM) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in the Egyptian context to develop and enhance smart city management to keep pace with the development of Egypt’s Vision 2030 by leveraging Building Information Modeling (BIM), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and advanced communication networks as foundational elements for CIM-IoT in smart cities. It explores how these technologies can be applied to tackle local critical urban issues such as traffic congestion, energy consumption, and public safety. The research methodology involves a comprehensive literature review, through conducting a comparative analysis for twenty-six international and regional smart cities case studies, based on which a proposed framework “City Planning Information Model (CPIModel)” has been inducted. The research conducted a local field survey, as results and findings provide the requirement adjustment for the model to suit the Egyptian planning context. The findings of this research highlight the significant potential for assessing Egyptian cities and prioritizing their development into sustainable, resilient, and efficient environments for citizens by leveraging the power of data and technology, Egyptian smart cities can improve the quality of life for their residents and contribute to a more sustainable and smarter future. © 2025 by authors, all rights reserved.
