Smart Cities and Artificial Intelligence: Convergent Systems for Planning, Design, and Operations, Second Edition delves into the evolution of urban ecosystems through the integration of advanced technologies like machine learning, geospatial intelligence, and smart connected objects. By examining cities as dynamic, real-time systems and providing tools such as generative design and living lab models, this book equips readers with both conceptual and practical knowledge for planning, designing, and operating smart cities. The book adopts a multidisciplinary approach, emphasizing the convergence of digital and physical realms and the transformative impact of human and machine intelligence on urban environments.

It offers a holistic understanding of smart city functions, aiming to make cities more livable and sustainable. New sections include a focus on the Metaverse, comparisons of global smart city models, and updated use cases and applications of AI since the first edition.
