As populations rise and cities draw ever-larger populations, smart cities are emerging around the world to cater for the need for sustainable urban development. The exploration of recent advances in information and communication technology (ICT), sensing and energy engineering offers promising enablers for creating, implementing, and promoting sustainable development strategies to address the challenges of this expanding urbanization.

The aim of this book is to equip readers with the conceptual and practical knowledge they need to comprehend and put into practice the technological concepts involved in the design, development, and management of smart cities. The authors explore enabling technologies, capabilities, solutions and strategies to support sustainable smart cities including smart homes, zero energy buildings, smart sensing, Internet of Things (IoT), autonomous IoT, secure IoT, federated learning, data security, network security, privacy-preserving and decentralized intelligence, clean hydrogen and energy harvesting technologies.

With contributions from global experts, this reference is a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, technologists and urban planners in the fields of smart city and urban sustainable development. Lecturers and advanced students will find the book useful as a course reference and for wider reading.
