Cities around the world are becoming increasingly popular as
economic powerhouses and magnets for migrants from rural and
suburban areas. All big cities in First and Third World countries
as well as emerging markets such as New York, London, Tokyo, Paris,
Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, New Delhi, Jakarta etc. have to
cope with high population density and serious challenges such as
air pollution or traffic congestion. How do we pack more people
into big cities and yet continue to realise a high quality of life?
How do we plan, create and manage 'good cities' which are safe,
spacious, green, connected, fair and resilient? How can cities
create economic wealth while still fulfilling the vision of
sustaining our 'Green Planet'? What are best practice designs and
innovative technical smart city solutions which could be leveraged
to tackle these challenges and how can they be successfully
commercialised?These are some of the questions the reader addresses
from a multi-disciplinary perspective with special reference to
Singapore whose development from regional entrepot to First World
Metropolis continues to impress business and societal leaders
around the world.The book's contents are broadly structured
according to the following aspects: (i) definition and taxonomy of
innovative & sustainable cities, including its core
characteristics and how they create value in terms of
innovativeness and sustainability; (ii) governance, planning and
selected design principles of innovative & sustainable cities
and how they pan out with regard to livability and sustainability;
and (iii) in-depth study of selected smart city dimensions such as
governance, clustering, connectivity, mobility, ageing, water,
sports, and safety.
