The rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized how modern infrastructure is designed, operated, and maintained within the framework of smart infrastructure and smart cities. IoT enables real-time connectivity between sensors, devices, and urban management systems, generating large-scale data (big data) that can be analyzed for evidence-based decision-making. This technology plays a crucial role in enhancing energy efficiency, traffic management, and environmental monitoring. Within the context of sustainable development, IoT optimizes resource utilization and reduces ecological impact through adaptive monitoring systems and automated control. However, despite its great potential, several challenges remain, including cybersecurity, data privacy, and device interoperability, all of which require open architectural solutions and mature regulatory policies. This paper highlights current research trends and real-world IoT implementations in various infrastructure sectors, including transportation, public utilities, and green buildings. Findings indicate that the synergy between IoT, artificial intelligence (AI), and predictive analytics forms the foundation for building efficient, adaptive, and citizen-oriented cities of the future.
