Full Description

Smart Cities and Artificial Intelligence: Convergent Systems for Planning, Design, and Operations, Second Edition offers a comprehensive view of how cities are evolving as smart ecosystems through the convergence of technologies incorporating machine learning and neural network capabilities, geospatial intelligence, data analytics and visualization, sensors, and smart connected objects. Exploring cities as real-time, living, dynamic systems, and providing tools and formats including generative design and living lab models that support cities to become self-regulating, this book provides readers with a conceptual and practical knowledge base to grasp and apply the key principles required in the planning, design, and operations of smart cities.

This book brings a multidisciplinary, integrated approach, examining how the digital and physical worlds are converging, and how a new combination of human and machine intelligence is transforming the experience of the urban environment. It presents a fresh, holistic understanding of smart cities through an interconnected stream of theory, planning and design methodologies, system architecture, and the application of smart city functions, with the ultimate purpose of making cities more liveable, sustainable, and self-sufficient. This updated second edition also includes a new focus on the Metaverse as an extension of the smart city operating system, as well as an updated comparison of different smart city models that have been implemented around the world, such as the smart city as a platform, as a product, and as a service. All sections have been updated to align with technological advancements, and there are new use cases and applications of AI in smart cities that have emerged since the first edition was published.
