Abstract This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the integration of blockchain technology in the context of smart cities. As urban environments become increasingly complex and interconnected, the need for efficient and secure data management systems becomes paramount. Blockchain, a decentralized and tamper-resistant ledger technology, offers a promising solution that helps solve the issues with data integrity, transparency, and security that smart cities face. The introduction delves into the fundamental concepts of blockchain technology, elucidating its decentralized nature, consensus mechanisms, and cryptographic principles. The potential benefits of adopting blockchain in smart city initiatives, include enhanced trust, reduced fraud, and increased efficiency in data transactions. Moreover, it explores real-world applications of blockchain in smart cities, ranging from secure data sharing among municipal entities to the implementation of decentralized energy grids and intelligent transportation systems. The discussion also touches upon the challenges and considerations associated with the implementation of blockchain in smart city projects addressing issues, such as scalability, interoperability, and regulatory frameworks, and highlighting the transformative features of blockchain technology in determining the future landscape of smart cities, fostering innovation, and creating more resilient and sustainable urban ecosystems. © 2024 Scrivener Publishing LLC.
