The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the technology trends nowadays. In addition, the IoT is one means of developing a living life. This paper presents a smart city model based on the IoT using Cisco Packet Tracer simulation software. As a starting point, the paper explains smart city architecture that aims to improve life through three aspects. The first aspect is creating a network that allows users to control their smart devices from anywhere and at any time. The second aspect is bypassing the high budget by improving operational efficiency through the managed interconnection between smart devices within the city. Ultimately, the third aspect is increasing safety and security in all city facilities. The simulation showed that the smart city would make life in cities more productive and interactive.
