Abstract

In response to accelerating urbanization and rapid technological advancements, smart cities have emerged as a new model for urban development. This paper explores how IoT technology drives environmental design strategies in smart cities. Utilizing literature review and theoretical analysis from a humanities and social sciences perspective, the study systematically examines IoT applications in smart cities and their impact on modern urban design. By reviewing existing smart city development theories, the fundamental concepts and core characteristics are clarified. The paper then discusses key IoT components, including sensor networks, data processing, and intelligent decision systems, and their applications in urban planning, traffic management, energy use, and public services. From an environmental design viewpoint, specific IoT-driven strategies are analyzed, such as optimizing spatial layouts, enhancing energy efficiency, promoting public participation, and increasing information transparency. Findings reveal that IoT-driven smart city environmental design not only boosts urban intelligence but also improves residents' quality of life and promotes sustainable urban development. These strategies encompass technological applications as well as socio-cultural, policy, and management transformations, highlighting the complexity and diversity of smart city environmental design. The study proposes an integrated design framework encompassing smart infrastructure, data-driven decision-making, and public participation, offering theoretical support and design references for future systematic research and practice in smart cities.
