Synopsis

In a rapidly urbanizing world, the concept of “smart cities” represents the future of urban living. These cities aim to harness advanced technologies to create environments that are efficient, sustainable, and responsive to the needs of their inhabitants. But what does it take to build a smart city? And what challenges must be overcome to realize this vision? Smart Cities - Foundations and Perspectives is a comprehensive guide that explores the intricate process of developing smart cities. The book is organized into two key sections. The first section, “Smart Cities Opportunities and Challenges”, takes you through the initial stages of smart city development, with a focus on real-world examples like Saudi Arabia’s ambitious smart city projects. It discusses the critical areas of energy, mobility, and waste management, offering a clear view of the evolution of these cities and the hurdles they face. In the second section, “Smart Cities Technologies”, the book delves into the technological backbone of smart cities. From the Internet of Things (IoT) to renewable energy solutions and cybersecurity measures, it covers the cutting-edge innovations that are essential for creating intelligent urban environments. Written by leading experts in the field, this book provides invaluable insights for policymakers, urban planners, technologists, and anyone interested in the future of cities. Smart Cities - Foundations and Perspectives is not just a blueprint for building smart cities—it is a call to action for creating urban spaces that are secure, sustainable, and inclusive.
