Rise of Smart Cities: Technology and Humanity Combined

Rise of Smart Cities provides a comprehensive overview of how smart infrastructure is reshaping modern urban environments. The book explains how integrated systems—energy, transportation, water, communications, and governance—work together through digital technologies to create efficient, sustainable, and resilient cities.
Written for engineering students, urban planners, and infrastructure professionals, it focuses on real-world implementation of smart infrastructure using IoT, data platforms, automation, and AI. The emphasis is on system integration rather than isolated technologies.
Key areas covered include:
• Smart infrastructure architecture for cities
• Integration of utilities, transport, and services
• Data-driven urban operations and control
• Sustainability and resilience in city systems
• Engineering challenges in scale and governance
Rise of Smart Cities connects applied science with practical infrastructure development, offering a clear foundation for understanding the cities of the future.
Cities don’t become smart by chance—
they rise through engineered infrastructure.
