Cover Story: This work proposes a design framework to comprehend what a Blockchain integration within a city's infrastructure and operations would look like in a future smart city, while addressing the complicated future of infrastructure sustainability in terms of security and resource management that prioritizes user convenience based on their needs, security, secure financial activities, and enhanced data monitoring.  We explore the different applications of Blockchain technology in the sectors of energy, transportation, water, construction, and government and provide a roadmap for implementing this technology in smart cities. The implementation of Blockchain technologies in urban data management could have a profound impact. It is suitable for the fast-paced management of different sectors in infrastructure.
