Table 2. How the proposed system can develop a sustainable smart city.

Economical Environmental Social
• Utilize the existing LED bulbs in the smart city for both as light source and data transmission.
• Larger spectrum to provide scalable solution that support the increasing number of wireless devices.
• Developing the system using Li-Fi can reduce cost of infrastructure than using the Wi-Fi for the same purposes.
• LEDs have long lifespan which reduce cost of purchasing lights.
• Used in sensitive environment.
• Reduce energy consumption, so reduce Co2 emission.
• The lamps also can be attached with different sensors to collect and deliver data using Li-Fi technology. These sensors can be used to monitor different environmental issues in the smart cities.
• Participate in waste reduction and saving the environment.
• Enhance the provided services to citizens.
• The proposed systems can be used in different use cases in the city. For example Awareness campaigns, advertisements , emergency warning
• All of these benefits of the system can improve the public services and increase citizen stratification.
