This volume takes readers on a captivating journey into the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) technologies in revolutionizing sustainable urban development.

Providing comprehensive theoretical analyses, synthesizing rich evidence, and presenting practical case studies, this book offers novel interdisciplinary insights and pioneering frameworks for synergizing Urban Brain, Urban Digital Twin, Smart Urban Metabolism, and Platform Urbanism. It aims to transform the environmental management, planning, and governance of smarter eco-cities and sustainable smart cities. Rather than looking at the field from only a theoretical or practical perspective, it unifies both aspects to give a holistic understanding of the AI- and AIoT-driven sustainable urban development paradigm.

The book targets a diverse audience across various fields, aiming to share research, offer innovative solutions, and forecast future trends. It serves as both a seminal reference and a valuable resource for those interested in the intersection of urban technology, innovation, and sustainability. This book is an essential guide for researchers, practitioners, industry professionals, policymakers, and anyone curious about technological advancements, catering to their thirst for knowledge.
