Rethinking Smart Cities

Zaheer Allam and Yusra Raisah Takun

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This innovative book explores the foundations of the smart city and, through a critique of its challenges and concerns, showcases how to redefine the concept for increased sustainability, liveability and resilience in urban areas. It undertakes a review of the smart city concept, providing a new perspective on how technology-based urban solutions must be centred around human dimensions to render more liveable urban fabrics.
