While the development of smart cities is not an alien concept and in the last few decades, an increasing amount of investment both in terms of time and money is done, the pecuniary or financial benefit of this investment is still much uncharted. Like any other investment made, the return on investment plans and models are essential for further development. This research aims to explore, comprehend, analyse and further develop the return on investment in smart cities and various adjunct IoT and IoE-based models. The presented study primarily analyses and explores various possible financial benefits by deliberating multiple case studies of various smart cities and IoT-based projects worldwide. Additionally, a complete and detailed framework for each assayed case study is presented to comprehend the concept of RoI or return on investments which are distinct for every analysed case study contingent on numerous factors like investment, operational cost, area of application, etc. The presented study also aims to provide a comprehensive and comparative study between various plans of RoI for numerous case studies of smart cities and IoT-based projects.
