摘要

While existing research extensively details the technical implementation of the Internet of Things (IoT) in smart cities, there is a critical lack of literature clearly articulating its impact. This gap prevents stakeholders in the Global South – policymakers, governments, and civil society-from effectively leveraging lessons from the North to Champion sustainable urban development. They need a clear understanding of IoT’s practical outcomes, adoption requirements, necessary institutional transformations, and the supportive policies essential for success. Bridging this knowledge deficit is crucial to enabling informed, evidence-based strategies for IoT integration and sustainable urban growth in developing regions. This study bridges this gap by conducting a systematic literature review with bibliometric analysis-a mixed-method approach integrating quantitative bibliometric and qualitative thematic content analysis. Examining 77 contributions, it identifies key benefits of IoT-enabled SMART cities (IoTSMART cities); green energy development, transmission, and management; the establishment of smart grids utilizing renewable sources; enhanced IoT device performance; improved human-machine, machine-machine, and human-human integration; and the advancement of long-term sustainable development.
