Abstract

Smart cities are required in today’s world. It is a complex term comprised of many other terms like smart transportation, smart energy, smart governance, and many more. Smart governance is the most significant one. Many technological advancements have been done to transform any city into a smart city. Out of many, cloud computing is a new torrent in terms of technological revolution and economic development. This paper aims to identify the factors that contribute to the slow performance of e-governance systems when compared to the use of cloud technology in supporting e-governance implementation; it also examines the main factors influencing cloud computing technology adoption and argues that cloud computing technology can be recommended as a new avenue to support smart governance implementation with various cloud techniques. To reduce cost, alleviate time to market, and enhance on-demand applications, we have proposed a cloud computing architecture as a savior of smart cities and smart governance.
