Abstract : Due to tremendous increase in population, many people living in villages are now migrating to the cities. It is predicted that very soon most of the human civilization will be concentrated in the cities. This increased population will consume more energy and need more space to live. Finally, they will leave behind a more prominent environmental footprint as the cities grow to metropolises. This has been occurring globally and has led to serious consequences. So, to restrain the burden on traditional cities, a paradigm of a new kind of cities has come up, one called smart city. A smart city uses advanced technology to minimize the effect of human activities on the environment. With the increase in population, more and more people also learn and are taught to use computers/handhelds. This has resulted in having a large number of computers/handhelds in every city. In this paper we propose to develop smart software which is used to from a smart system to use optimal power and hardware resources to produce minimum carbon footprint and to make the city smart and green.
