Description & Coverage
Description:

The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and machine learning (ML) transforms the way cities are planned, developed, and managed, creating a new era of smart urban planning. By connecting physical infrastructure with real-time data, IoT devices enable cities to collect and analyze large amounts of information on data like traffic patterns and energy usage to air quality and public services. When paired with the predictive capabilities of machine learning, this data can optimize urban systems, enhance sustainability, and improve residential quality of life. Smart urban planning powered by IoT and ML facilitates more efficient resource management while fostering greater resilience in the face of urban challenges, such as population growth, environmental pressures, and climate change. This innovative approach may help create cities that are smarter, more adaptive, and better equipped to meet future needs.

Leveraging IoT and Machine Learning for Smart Urban Planning explores the integration of IoT and machine learning technologies to create smarter, more efficient, and sustainable environments. It covers theoretical foundations, practical applications, and real-world case studies across various sectors including urban planning, transportation, energy management, agriculture, healthcare, water resources, and waste management. This book covers topics such as citizen engagement, renewable energy, smart cities, and is a useful resource for policymakers, business owners, engineers, sociologists, academicians, researchers, and data scientists.
