Launched in 2017, this book series publishes a collection of insights into the diverse constitution of smart cities. In collecting these insights, the series publishes research, which is methodical in improving both the theory and practice of smart cities and that is also capable of transferring the knowledge acquired to scholars, policymakers and practitioners alike.
The collection of insights the book series proposes to publish shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
Championing interdisciplinary perspectives
Championing interdisciplinary perspectives, the book series calls for theoretically informed and practically oriented contributions. In this way the series shall offer the opportunity for readers to understand smart cities as a holistic compilation of theoretical expansions, practice reviews, and future directions that shall offer the type of insights which scholars, policymakers and practitioners need in order to know how resilient smart cities are in securing the resources needed to sustain urban development in the 21st century.
Publishing original research
The book series publishes original research on the following topics: smart cities; smart communities; smart buildings; smart infrastructures, smart streets, smart precincts; smart districts; smart services; smart climate; smart living; smart mobility; smart environment; smart economy; smart governance; smart specialisation; smart urban technologies; smart health; smart education; cloud computing; internet-of-things; big data; IoT; new science of cities; urban informatics; data analytics; digital cities; creative cities; intelligent cities; intelligent environments; innovation; social innovation; user-driven innovation; cyber-physical systems of innovation; sustainability; sustainable urban development; zero carbon settlements; climate neutral developments.
Primary: Academics of relevant fields including civil/transport/environmental engineering/information and computer sciences, built environment, urban planning and real estate development studies, social sciences, arts and humanities/cultural studies.
Secondary: Urban administrators, such as policymakers, engineers and spatial managers, which take critical decisions that affect cities. This includes the third sector that investigate externalities of inadequate development practices on communities and which pressure government agencies to take necessary actions.
Some volumes might also be suitable for adoption as textbooks by undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the study areas of civil/transport/environmental engineering, computing courses, as well as those relating to architecture, real estate development, urban planning, and construction of smart cities and communities.
