About this title

Synopsis

Smart Cities and Sustainable Manufacturing: Innovations for a Greener Future explores the intersection of these two essential disciplines, underscoring the transformative potential of their integration in sculpting sustainable urban landscapes. By providing cutting-edge research, case studies, success stories, and practical guidance, this book facilitates knowledge sharing and collaboration and inspires stakeholders to implement sustainable and innovative solutions. Further, it illustrates how integrating smart cities and sustainable manufacturing can contribute to a greener future by investigating the role of emergent technologies, policy frameworks, business models, and more.

This essential resource covers a range of topics related to smart cities and sustainable manufacturing, including technologies for smart cities, such as IoT, AI, big data analytics, and sensor networks; sustainable infrastructure design, such as green buildings, energy-efficient transportation systems, and renewable energy integration; circular economy and waste management strategies; sustainable transportation initiatives such as intelligent transportation systems, electric mobility solutions, and shared mobility services, and much more.

Offers practical frameworks, methodologies, and tools readers can utilize to implement sustainable practices and drive positive change in their respective domains
Features real-world case studies from around the globe, highlighting successful―and less successful―examples of smart cities and sustainable manufacturing initiatives and showcasing the outcomes and lessons learned
Bridges the gap between different disciplines, integrating knowledge from areas such as technology, urban planning, environmental science, and engineering for a holistic understanding of the subject matter
Explores future trends and emerging technologies in smart cities and sustainable manufacturing, enabling readers to stay ahead of the curve and anticipate upcoming developments
