{"product_id":"smart-cities-mark-deakin-9781138932722","title":"Smart Cities: Governing, Modelling, and Analysing the Transition","description":"\u003cp\u003eSmart city development has emerged a major issue over the past 5 years. Since the launch of IBM's Smart Planet and CISCO's Smart Cities and Communities programmes, their potential to deliver on global sustainable development targets have captured the public's attention. However, despite this growing interest in the development of smart cities, little has as yet been published that either sets out the state-of-the-art, or which offers a less than subjective, arm's length and dispassionate account of their potential contribution. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book brings together cutting edge research and the findings from technical development projects from leading authorities within the field to capture the transition to smart cities. It explores what is understood about smart cities, playing particular attention on the governance, modelling and analysis of the transition that smart cities seek to represent. In paving the way for such a representation, the book begins to account for the social capital of smart communities and begins the task of modelling their embedded intelligence through an analysis of what the \"embedded intelligence of smart cities\" contributes to the sustainability of urban development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis innovative book offers an interdisciplinary perspective and shall be of interest to researchers, policy analysts and technical experts involved in and responsible for the planning, development and design of smart cities. It will also be of particular value to final year undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in Geography, Architecture and Planning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Deakin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138932728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138932722\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/07\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Mark Deakin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447857983743,"sku":"9781138932722","price":65.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bf6bf11f-3ec8-4b03-9618-01c23cf8a405.jpg?v=1777235281","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/smart-cities-mark-deakin-9781138932722","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
