Introduction

 

There is considerable interest in developing cities that provide not only an
intelligent and green living environment but also providing human-centered
public services at a lower cost. Artificial intelligence (AI) will be the
cornerstone technology enabling smart cities to evolve into an organic
ecosystem. Particularly, developments in Internet of Things (IoT), AI,
intelligent IoT devices, smart sensing boosted by AI, and IoT big data
mining with AI are driving this transformation. This book aims to present
the latest research in the design and development of smart cities and
services. Specifically, this book discusses the concept, framework, and
supporting systems for smart city construction. It incorporates a large
number of the current theoretical concepts to analyze smart city evaluation
index, comparison and ranking, combining with a large number of practical
cases to introduce the development and application of artificial
intelligence in the construction, management and service of smart city. The
role and mechanism of smart city in urban governance, planning and policy is
also discussed.

 

Objective

 

The bright future of smart city has motivated many scientific and
engineering challenges for both academia and industry, in order to fully
exploit the capabilities and benefits brought by IoT and AI. Some important
areas are smart city IT infrastructure planning; framework, protocol,
algorithm for smart sensing and data mining; novel intelligent hardware
platform or software framework; smart city modeling; security and energy
efficiency. The objective of this book is to provide a platform for
researchers to present their recent work on how IoT and AI can work together
to enable a real smart city. Thus, this book targets recent research
findings in AI applications for Smart City. It discusses state of the art
techniques in urban infrastructure design, construction, operation,
maintenance, and management.  

 

Target Audience

 

This book will be a tremendous resource for both academia and industry. In
academia, the book can be used as a reference book in the graduate and
undergraduate courses that cover urban planning and smart city development.
Since the book will also have sufficient coverage of different technologies
such as IoT, AI, Blockchain, and Information Technology, it can also be used
as a reference book in the management information systems courses. The book
will also be useful for practitioners who are engaged in designing and
developing smart cities. Particularly, for people who are developing AI
based services and systems in support of Smart Cities, this book will
provide valuable information and case studies that can be used as exemplars.
It will also be suitable for various IT system integration companies,
software companies, relevant personnel of smart city construction and
operation department, and information centers of local governments.
