The main objectives of smart cities are to improve the well being of its citizens and promote economic development while maintaining sustainability. Smart cities can enhance several services including healthcare, education, transportation and agriculture among others. Smart cities are based on the ICT framework including the Internet of Things (IoT) technology. These technologies create voluminous amount of heterogeneous data, which is commonly referred to as big data. However these data are meaningless on their own. New processes need to be developed to interpret the huge amount of data gathered and one solution is the application of big data analytics techniques. Big data can be mined and modelled through the analytics techniques to get better insight and to enhance smart cities functionalities. In this chapter, four state-of-the-art big data analytics techniques are presented. Applications of big data analytics to five sectors of smart cities are discussed and finally an overview of the security challenges for big data and analytics for smart cities is elaborated.
