Enhancement to Smart Cities in Sri Lanka using Cutting Edge Technologies

Advancement of technologies leads to greater innovative ideas and optimal solutions to real world problems. In Sri Lanka the “Port City” currently undergoing construction is an extension of land from Sri Lanka in which the goal is to build a self-sustainable city along with a mixed diverse community. The best use case to demonstrate the usage of modern technologies and the aim of this study is to turn the concept of a city into a “Smart Port City” which solves many different components in the 11th sustainable development goal, sustainable cities, and communities through the utilization of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, internet of things and blockchain in the form of a web application. Through this research, every aspect of a generic web application in terms of raw performance, security and privacy and convenience is outperformed by “Smart Port City” because of the utilization of modern technologies. The work done to implement and incorporate these technologies into a web application is extensively described with architectural diagrams. Additionally, deep dives into literature reviews was conducted to depict comparisons between before the usage of the advanced technologies and after the usage to interpret the results and findings to finally come to a decisive conclusion
