The Internet of Things represents a key technology that contributes to the digital transformation of business and society on a global level. The concept of the Internet of Things is described as a global network that emerges by connecting smart devices via the Internet, enabling their mutual communication, as well as communication with the environment. The subject of this paper is the role of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the development of smart cities. Smart cities represent an innovative approach to urban development aimed at improving the quality of life for citizens, as well as environmental protection. The paper starts from the hypothesis that smart cities today are not only a global trend but also a necessity, as the integration of IoT with existing infrastructure contributes to faster problem-solving and better decision-making that are significant for citizens' lives. The aim of this paper is to present examples of IoT application in the development of smart cities worldwide, as well as in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The research results indicate that the implementation of the concept of smart cities is recognized worldwide, but also that certain cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina have engaged in the process of implementing specific components of smart cities.
