Synopsis
Key technologies, such as Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics, and cloud computing, can be used to create intelligent, data driven cities that address complex urban challenges. Innovations in urban computing may effectively manage and control systems for traffic congestion, energy consumption, environmental monitoring, and waste management. As a result, these cutting-edge technologies can reshape urban environments for enhanced sustainability, efficiency, and citizen wellbeing. Further exploration of these technological impacts may project how future developments will further revolutionize urban living and governance. Leveraging Urban Computing for Sustainable Urban Development examines smart cities and urban computing, offering new insights into how emerging technologies can address pressing urban challenges and providing actionable insights for policymakers and urban planners. The emphasis on sustainability, social equity, and accessibility influences future smart city governance, ensuring that future developments prioritize inclusivity and resource efficiency. Covering topics such as remote monitoring, urban-rural sustainability dynamics, and disaster management, this book is an excellent resource for urban planners, government officials, policymakers, engineers, environmental scientists, business owners, researchers, academicians, and more.
