About this ebook

In developing economies, due to rising population and increasing migration, cities are rapidly growing. By 2050, two-thirds of all humanity (6.5 billion people) will be living in cities. Sustainable development cannot be achieved without significantly transforming how we build and manage our cities and develop communities. There is an urgent need to make our cities sustainable (i.e. creating more jobs, safe and affordable housing, and building resilient societies and economies). Technology has always been a crucial driver for economic development, and AI, IoT and Data Science should be leveraged to manage public transport, clean water and eco-friendly ways to manage waste, improve urban planning and create a sustainable environment for growth.

Strategic Framework and Intelligent Solutions for Sustainable Cities and Communities is a compilation of recent advancements in disruptive technologies such as AI, IoT, and Data Science, and ways to combat the challenges that are necessary for making our cities and communities sustainable.
