This book explores the recent advances in the leading paradigms of
urbanism, namely compact cities, eco-cities, and data-driven smart
cities, and the evolving approach to their amalgamation under the
umbrella term of smart sustainable cities. It addresses these
advances by investigating how and to what extent the strategies of
compact cities and eco-cities and their merger have been enhanced
and strengthened through new planning and development practices,
and are being supported and leveraged by the applied solutions
pertaining to data-driven smart cities. The ultimate goal is to
advance sustainability and harness its synergistic effects on
multiple scales. This entails developing and implementing more
effective approaches to the balanced integration of the three
dimensions of sustainability, as well as to producing combined
effects of the strategies and solutions of the prevailing
approaches to urbanism that are greater than the sum of their
separate effects in terms of the tripartite value of
sustainability. Sustainable urban development is today seen as one
of the keys towards unlocking the quest for a sustainable world.
And the big data revolution is set to erupt in cities throughout
the world, heralding an era where instrumentation, datafication,
and computation are increasingly pervading the very fabric of
cities and the spaces we live in thanks to the IoT. Big data and
the IoT technologies are seen as powerful forces that have
tremendous potential for advancing urban sustainability. Indeed,
they are instigating a massive change in the way sustainable cities
can tackle the kind of special conundrums, wicked problems, and
significant challenges they inherently embody as complex systems.
They offer a multitudinous array of innovative solutions and
sophisticated approaches informed by groundbreaking research and
data-driven science. As such, they are becoming essential to the
functioning of sustainable cities. Besides, yet knowing to what
extent we are making progress towards sustainable cities is
problematic, adding to the fragmented, conflicting picture that
arises of change on the ground in the face of the escalating rate
and scale of urbanization and in the light of emerging ICT and its
novel applications. In a nutshell, new circumstances require new
responses. This timely and multifaceted book is intended for a wide
readership. As such, it will appeal to researchers, academics,
urban scientists, urbanists, planners, designers, policy-makers,
and futurists, as well as all readers interested in sustainable
cities and their ongoing and future data-driven transformation.
