Abstract: In an era of rapid urbanisation, the rise of smart cities and the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology for smart energy management have emerged as proactive responses to multifaceted urban challenges. This paper offers a comprehensive survey that delves deep into the synergy between IoT and energy management, shedding light on their role in shaping urban landscapes and redefining energy management paradigms. The transformative impact of IoT is illuminated, with a particular focus on its revolutionary applications in shaping smart cities by revolutionising energy management and underscores the optimisation of urban functionalities and grid efficiency, while also highlighting the critical importance of data security measures and the adaptive nature of IoT system responses. By exploring the diverse applications of IoT in smart energy management for smart cities through an in-depth literature review, the potential challenges are openly discussed.

Keywords: urbanisation; smart cities; IoT technology; smart energy management; urban challenges; transformation; efficiency; sustainability; urban landscapes; paradigm; solutions and urban development.
