Abstract Growing urbanisation and technological integration have made smart cities vital worldwide. Modern ICT will boost efficiency, sustainability, and quality of life in these cities. Smart cities are exposed to a wide range of cybersecurity assaults that could threaten their operational integrity and people' well-being due to their growing reliance on digital infrastructure. The many cybersecurity issues in smart cities are examined in this paper. It examines urban information and communication technology (ICT) system vulnerabilities and how cyber events could affect transportation, electricity, and public safety services. We examine smart city cybersecurity and find gaps that make them vulnerable to hackers. We propose integrating cutting-edge technologies with smart city cybersecurity infrastructure to overcome these issues. This framework uses AI and machine learning for threat detection and predictive analytics, blockchain technology for secure data sharing and authentication, and powerful encryption protocols for data protection. We also stress the importance of merging technology and policy to address cybersecurity. Cybersecurity standards, laws, and international cooperation agreements should be created. We believe such an all-encompassing approach is necessary to build resilient smart cities that can withstand changing cyber threats. The report also emphasises the need for ongoing education and awareness initiatives to ensure that all stakeholders, from city authorities to the public, understand cybersecurity and their role in maintaining a safe urban ecology. In conclusion, this research provides a roadmap for smart city cybersecurity by strategically merging cutting-edge technologies and applying the best cybersecurity governance approaches. This document gives policymakers, urban planners, and technology professionals a basic resource to assure the digital future of our urban surroundings. © 2024 IEEE.
