Background of the Study
The concept of smart cities involves integrating technology, data-driven solutions, and innovative infrastructure to enhance urban living while minimizing environmental impacts. Smart cities prioritize energy efficiency, sustainable transportation, waste management, and resource optimization, making them vital for addressing environmental challenges in urban areas. As Nigeria’s capital city and one of its fastest-growing urban centers, Abuja faces environmental issues such as inefficient waste management, air pollution, and deforestation.
In recent years, the adoption of smart city initiatives in Abuja has been explored as a means of fostering environmental sustainability. These initiatives aim to improve urban planning, optimize resource usage, and promote green energy. While the potential benefits of smart cities are significant, their implementation faces challenges such as high costs, limited technological infrastructure, and governance issues. This study investigates the impact of smart city initiatives on environmental sustainability in Abuja, assessing their successes and challenges.

Challenges such as inadequate funding, technological gaps, and a lack of policy coherence hinder the realization of their full potential. This study seeks to evaluate the extent to which smart city projects in Abuja contribute to environmental sustainability, highlighting the gaps and proposing strategies for improvement.
