In this chapter, we introduced an unmanned aircraft system (UAS)/unmanned ariel vehicle (UAV) that serves various purposes such as monitoring and regulating urban development, transportation, monitoring air quality, infrastructure inspection, emergency services, and communication establishment. These UAVs have proven to be valuable assets in the context of smart cities, offering a range of potential applications supported by key technologies. One notable application is the delivery of goods, which not only reduces traffic congestion but also minimizes emissions compared to traditional delivery vehicles. In addition, it provides real-time data to service provider and governing authorities of smart cities for better decision-making and resource allocation. This contributes to create more sustainable, efficient, and equitable smart cities. The main purpose is to introduce UAVs in smart cities for several potential applications along with the key technologies supporting. Throughout this chapter, we discuss how UAVs address challenges and build a smart city sustainable. Finally, we evaluate UAV prospects and look forward to its future research scopes.
