It is interesting to note that many \"smart\" solutions for cities are leading to an unsustainable future, including further electrification, an increased dependence on the Internet, Internet of Things, Big Data, and Artificial Intelligence, and basically any technology that leads us to consume more electricity. This book examines critical topics in Smart Cities such as true sustainability and the resilience required for all cities. It explores sustainability issues in agriculture and the role of agri-technology for a sustainable future, including a city's ability to locally produce food for its residents. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFeatures: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscusses safety, security, data management, and privacy issues in Smart Cities\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamines the various emerging forms of transportation infrastructure and new vehicle technology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsiders how energy efficiency can be achieved through behavioral change through specific building operations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmart Cities: Critical Debates on Big Data, Urban Development and Social Environmental Sustainability brings awareness to professionals working in the fields of environmental, civil, and transportation engineering, urban planners, and political leaders about different environmental aspects of Smart Cities and refocuses attention on critical urban infrastructure that will be necessary to respond to future challenges including climate change, food insecurity, natural hazards, energy production, and resilience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Negin Minaei\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032220422\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032220420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Negin Minaei","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054342631679,"sku":"9781032220420","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ec0b2d3e-0051-43ff-be84-1ec0196a7464.jpg?v=1685029405","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/smart-cities-negin-minaei-9781032220420","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
