Collective insight of key thought leaders in the field to clarify and reshape the vision of smart cities
Smart Cities, Energy and Climate: Governing Cities for a Low-Carbon Future is a seminal work that draws together insights and case studies on post-carbon urbanism across a variety of fieldsāfrom smart energy grids to active buildings, sustainable mobility and urban design.
Another objective is to foster an understanding of how digitally-enhanced smart city solutions can assist energy transitions, and what new developments and challenges they bring in areas ranging from urban governance to energy security.
Key topics covered in this book include:
- Recent developments in urban planning, building design and smart technologies
