7.1 Introduction

Smart and assistive technologies interoperate practically in urban infrastructure such that many cities across the world strive to promote technological advances in urbanization and integrate technology to create smart cities through infrastructural enhancement. While this opens up numerous opportunities in smart city infrastructure development, it also entails smooth integration of a wide range of technologies associated with something within the smart city locality as well as connecting with the outside world where foundation still heavily depends on legacy systems. An interoperable and sustainable infrastructure is therefore needed for smooth integration.
