Abstract

The literary meaning of the word ‘smart’ is bright, intelligent, high performing, which, by and large, is also true in the case of ‘smart’ buildings and cities. The present digital age (seems) to be a smart age and smart times, where everything is expected to be smart, including cities and their dwellings or buildings as living and working spaces. This study addresses Dubai, well known for its smart service initiatives, through Dubai Municipality (DM), and Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (DEWA). The Results reveal smart power and water management efficiencies and smart and effective delivery of civic services through the use of ICT. Dubai has plan to turn the sustainable city into power, water, infrastructure, information and communication efficient one by the 2021 Golden Jubilee year of the founding of UAE. The message of it is that the future is of smart dwellings and smart cities, and the concept of ‘smart’ in the case of ultramodern Dubai too should extend to the citizens.
