| 520 ^"Smart city development has emerged a major issue over thepast 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. This 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 smartcommunities and begins the task of modelling their embedded intelligence through an analysis of what the ^"embedded intelligence of smart cities^" contributes to thesustainability of urban development. This 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 ofparticular value to final year undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in Geography, Architecture and Planning^"--^cProvided by publisher |
