A smart city, is like every other organism a structured and organized entity. An organism comprises of a brain that performs its tasks via its appendages, just as smart cities should. However the brain needs a spine through which it communicates information to its appendages, becomes a point of confluence of different sensory and actuator pathways and facilitates activities. We herein put forth our work involving the building of such a spine for a smart city, and focus on the last mile communication aspects, especially using an LPWAN network and an implementation example with smart streetlights.
