Syed Danish Bukhari (Sir Syed CASE Institute of Technology (SS-CASE-IT), Islamabad, Pakistan)

Abstract
The circular economy model aims to reduce resource requirements, redesign waste handling, and reshape the economy by promoting sustainable resource management, dissociating economic activity from finite resource exploitation, and preserving natural resources for future generations. Most notably, the relevance of the circular economy has been incorporated into several of the Sustainable Development Goals in the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations.

Research on supporting SDGs informs policy and decision-making, guiding the development of innovative technologies and business models for a circular economy.

Digital Twins and Federated Learning for Smart Cities and Their Applications
Blockchains track the complete product information, avert the entry of bogus products into the market, and share information amongst various entities to optimize the decision-making process. In the process of doing this, IoT sensors gather and monitor the information of entities, such as logistics, specifications, affiliation, and value. The distributed network nodes monitor the composed data and produce a real-time package for communicating. The received package will be used to analyse the behaviours of vehicles. The process of sharing will be recorded on a “CSP.” Retailers, distributors, transporters, and suppliers can retrieve the “CSP” for access to the information associated with them. After successful authentication, entities will get the information they need.
