## Abstract (arXiv)

This paper presents a Multimodal Ambient Context-enriched Intelligence Platform (MACeIP) for Smart Cities, a comprehensive system designed to enhance urban management and citizen engagement. Our platform integrates advanced technologies, including Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, edge and cloud computing, and Multimodal AI, to create a responsive and intelligent urban ecosystem. Key components include Interactive Hubs for citizen interaction, an extensive IoT sensor network, intelligent public asset management, a pedestrian monitoring system, a City Planning Portal, and a Cloud Computing System. We demonstrate the prototype of MACeIP in several cities, focusing on Fredericton, New Brunswick. This work contributes to innovative city development by offering a scalable, efficient, and user-centric approach to urban intelligence and management.
