Synopsis

This book delves into the intersection of advanced technologies, sustainable development, and the crucial role of infrastructure in shaping a more environmentally friendly world. In the contemporary era, as societies grapple with the challenges of climate change, resource depletion, and urbanization, the concept of intelligent infrastructure becomes paramount. The book explores how integrating cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), and smart materials into our built environment can contribute to the creation of more efficient, resilient, and sustainable infrastructure systems.

The significance of this book lies in its comprehensive exploration of the potential of intelligent infrastructure and smart materials to address pressing environmental issues. It sheds light on how these technologies can optimize energy consumption, reduce waste, and enhance the overall efficiency of infrastructure networks. Moreover, the book emphasizes the importance of sustainability in the context of infrastructure development, urging a shift towards eco-friendly practices. By showcasing real-world examples and case studies, the book provides practical insights into the implementation of intelligent infrastructure solutions, making it a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, policymakers, and anyone interested in the intersection of technology and sustainability.
