Abstract: By combining theoretical insights with practical applications, this handbook presents a holistic view of how big data and AI are reshaping cities. It is aimed at scholars, policymakers, and practitioners concerned with the ongoing digital transformation of urban spaces. By exploring the role of big data, it provides an understanding of contemporary urban phenomena and sets the stage for future advancements in urban science and planning. Following a comprehensive overview of the current state of big data in urban contexts, various chapters delve into specific applications of big data and AI in urban settings, including analyses of social networks within cities, the impacts of urban smartness on small and medium-sized towns, and the examination of the role of big data in urban tourism and geo-marketing. The final section speculates on the future of big data and AI in urban science.
