ABSTRACT Purpose – The purpose of this paper emphasizes the status and management of waste generation and explores numerous technology needed for waste management in urban cities, which aim at smartly improving the city and the environment. This was achieved through the study of various technologies that have been used in the waste management sector in urban segments. Methodology – The paper uses secondary data gathered from comprehensive literature, case-studies, journal and internet review are used for this literature review. Findings – The analysis shows that technology has fully revolutionized the world and brought people together. Every area of the application of ICT has achieved the latest technological advancements. This would clarify and improve the public and the community's working using technologies. Different technologies need, however, to be respected in different industries, especially in urban areas, because population growth is high. Research limitations/implications – Waste is one of India's main issues, and the ferocious epidemic has removed the city's life. But the clean lines of the city have now been acutely deteriorated due to its quick urbanization and insufficient waste management. Originality/value – With the rise in population and urbanization, cities have to transform themselves into a Smart City and smart technology can be used to solve different problems impacting society. This study addresses to the problem of waste generated in urban communities and using the technologies to have a smoother flow in the line of waste sector. Key words: Urban cities, Waste management, Technologies.

INTRODUCTION
The rising population of the planet has taken place in cities. In the next decade the population will reach up to 5 billion people. According to Census 2011, around 31% of India’s population lives in urban cities and contributes to 63% GDP. India with its rising economy on the threshold of steadfast rise in urbanization, industrialization and various other sectors have given much importance to innovation and technology unlike other nations. With the matter of fact people tend to flock to cities every day because of the notion that city is a center of economic and social change where it provides many opportunities in search of a better future and a better lifestyle [1]. A country like India faces major challenges concerning competition and urban development problems. It has become a necessity for the country to go for certain changes in technological aspects and economic related problems [2]. Apart from all of these the rise in human population has contributed in giving a crowded rise in urban region which is also causing to an alarming scenario to pollution and waste. The major issue in urban areas which causes unhygienic livelihood and disease spread will be overflow of waste and garbage. Quite clearly, this problem has affected the quality of urban sector and environmental conditions. The difficult condition must be addressed by citizens living in urban areas before suitable solution is enforced. In an attempt to curb out issues faced in urban regions, the idea of Smart City was introduced. The concept of Smart city collaborates Smart technologies using Internet of Things (IoT). Using these networks will help improve the conditions of operations effectively also to solve the problems of the economy [3, 4]. Understanding the value of smart cities and technologies the government has focused to start with the Smart City Mission so that the country infrastructure will help achieve a quality life to the citizens. Inevitably it leads to smart solutions for problems faced by the country in a smarter manner [5]. Moreover, the government likes to construct 100 number of smart cities with an idea of using technology in order to improvise the condition of the management and services with a motive to secure the environment and other natural resources where with an increasing urbanization, urban areas facing the problem of waste and various other problems on the economy can be improved with the use of technology in smarter way [6]. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had launched "100 Smart Cities Mission" on 25 June 2015. The Indian Cabinet had authorised ₹ 98,000 crore for the development of smart cities and ₹50,000 crore was sanctioned for Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT). A total of ₹7,016 crore was allocated by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to 150 smart cities [7, 8]. www.irjmets.com
