Synopsis

Emerging technologies revolutionize urban development and governance, offering innovative solutions to the complex challenges faced by modern cities. From smart infrastructure and data-driven decision-making to the rise of artificial intelligence, blockchain, and the Internet of Things (IoT), these technologies transform how cities are planned, built, and managed. Smart cities now leverage real-time data to optimize traffic flow, reduce energy consumption, enhance public services, and improve citizen engagement. Blockchain enables transparent governance and secure transactions, while AI assists in predictive modeling and urban planning. As these technologies continue to advance, they promise to create more sustainable, efficient, and resilient urban environments, where governance is more responsive, inclusive, and capable. Revolutionizing Urban Development and Governance With Emerging Technologies explores the dynamic and evolving domain of smart cities, with a focus on strategies, initiatives, and methodologies for project assessment. It emphasizes how emerging technologies, such as blockchain and smart contracts, revolutionize urban development by enhancing transparency, efficiency, and trust in urban governance and service delivery. This book covers topics such as digital twins, sensor technology, and smart cities, and is a useful resource for engineers, policymakers, urban developers, academicians, researchers, and environmental scientists.
