Abstract

The rapid growth of urban populations has intensified the demand for efficient and transparent utility management in smart cities. This project proposes the design and development of a Blockchain-Powered Utility Dashboard integrated with Advanced Data Analytics to monitor, manage, and optimize essential urban services such as electricity, water, waste management, and public transportation. The decentralized and immutable nature of blockchain ensures data transparency, security, and tamper-proof record-keeping of utility usage and service transactions across stakeholders. Simultaneously, embedded data analytics modules leverage real-time data to generate actionable insights, enabling predictive maintenance, consumption forecasting, anomaly detection, and dynamic resource allocation. The integration of smart contracts facilitates automated billing, service-level agreements, and incentive mechanisms for sustainable behavior. This holistic dashboard aims to empower city administrators, utility providers, and citizens with an intelligent and trustworthy platform for sustainable urban living. The proposed system architecture, implementation strategies, and use-case scenarios are discussed to demonstrate the feasibility and impact of the solution in real-world smart city environments.

Keywords: Security, automation, sustainability, interoperability, and citizen-centric governance in smart cities.
