<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Smart Cities and Artificial Intelligence</i> 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. These recent advances in AI move us closer to developing urban operating systems that simulate human, machine, and environmental patterns from transportation infrastructure to communication networks. 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.</p><i> <p>Smart Cities and Artificial Intelligence </i>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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Christopher Grant Kirwan is a multidisciplinary professional and educator with more than 30 years' experience spanning the fields of urban planning, architecture, new media, and branding.
