Building Smart Cities

This book explains the technology and a methodology known as design thinking for building smart cities. Information and communications technology form the backbone of smart cities, yet don’t fully account for the human component in their solutions. While a comprehensive and robust data analytics program enables the right choices to be made in building smart cities, design thinking helps to create smart cities that are both livable and able to evolve. This book examines these components in smart city development and shows how to use them in an integrated manner.
