This study proposesa multi-modal machine learning framework for context-aware anomaly detection, integrating Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for spatial feature extraction, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks for temporal pattern recognition, and contextual data (e.g., weather, public events) to improve detection accuracy. The hybrid CNN-LSTM model captures both spatial and temporal dependencies. At the same time, the inclusion of contextual information enables the model to adapt to changing conditions, improving the detection of anomalies such as traffic accidents or pollution spikes. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework outperforms traditional anomaly detection methods in terms of accuracy, precision, and recall. The hybrid model's superior performance highlights its potential for real-time applications in smart cities, including sustainable  \nurban management, fraud detection, and public safety monitoring.  \nKeywords: Anomaly Detection, Smart Cities, Multi-Modal Machine  \nLearning, Context-Aware Systems, Hybrid CNN-LSTM Model.  \n1. Introduction  \nThe advent of smart cities has transformed urban living by integrating advanced technologies such as sensor networks, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and big data analytics. These technologies collect vast amounts of real-time data from various sources, including traffic monitoring systems, environmental sensors, surveillance cameras, and social media (Batty et al., 2012; Giffinger et al., 2007). A major challenge in the management of smart cities is effectively monitoring and analyzing this data to detect anomalies—unusual patterns that deviate from normal behavior. Anomalies can signify critical events, such as security breaches, traffic accidents, or system malfunctions, that require immediate attention (Chandola et al., 2009) . Therefore, robust anomaly detection is crucial for enhancing urban operations and ensuring public safety.  \nTraditional anomaly detection methods, such as statistical models and rule-based systems, often fail to cope with the complexity and volume of data generated by smart cities (Iglewicz & Hoaglin, 1993) . Moreover, these methods are typically designed for single-modal data and are not well-equipped to integrate the heterogeneous data sources common in smart city environments. For instance, detecting anomalies from  \nvideo surveillance data requires spatial feature extraction, while sensor data demands an understanding of temporal patterns. As a result, single-modal methods often miss critical context, such as time of day, weather conditions, or public events, which significantly impact what constitutes an \"anomaly\" (Xu et al., 2020) .  \nTo address these challenges, multi-modal machine learning approaches have gained traction in recent years. These methods combine data from diverse sources, such as video feeds, IoT sensors, and social media, to form a more comprehensive understanding of the
