The Urban Code: Digitalization of Infrastructure

The Urban Code explores the logic and engineering principles that govern smart infrastructure in modern cities. It presents urban environments as interconnected systems where data, control mechanisms, and digital platforms coordinate transportation, energy, utilities, and public services.
Written for engineering students, planners, and infrastructure professionals, the book focuses on system-level thinking and practical implementation. It explains how algorithms, sensing networks, and automated control shape urban performance and resilience.
Key areas covered include:
• Urban systems engineering and integration
• Data-driven infrastructure management
• Control systems for city-scale operations
• AI and automation in urban services
• Security, scalability, and reliability challenges
The Urban Code helps readers understand how cities operate beneath the surface—through engineered logic and intelligent infrastructure.
Every smart city runs on a code—
engineered into its infrastructure.
