Description
World urbanization, at an accelerated rate, leads to a growing need for innovative cities that consider advances in AI and cyber-physical systems (CPS). A smart city is a development of a traditional environment of an urban setting, enhancing it with information and communication technology (ICT) and CPS to improve the quality of life, sustainability, and efficiency of the inhabitants. This chapter will cover the major constituents, challenges, and opportunities associated with the development of smart cities from the historically congested and ad hoc planned cities. A smart city connects a digitally empowered environment through sensors, processors, and communication systems integrated into urban infrastructures, allowing continuous monitoring of public health, mobility, energy consumption, and so on. The combination of AI and data analytics with smart city technologies will help optimize services in cities, reduce environmental effects, and accelerate socioeconomic development and decision-making. Improvement to cities is still a debatable issue, and there are additional obstacles to be overcome, such as infrastructural inadequacy, budgetary constraints, and technical issues. Realization of the full potential of smart cities will occur through successful resolution of the aforementioned issues. All the issues of this chapter can be addressed by adopting a multidisciplinary approach emphasizing sustainable designs, publicprivate sector partnerships, and regulatory frameworks. If ignored, such problems will definitely lead to adverse effects on implementation, an increase in socioeconomic inequality, and damage to the environment. This chapter relies on the secondary methodology of research and assimilates knowledge from journal articles, literature, and earlier research regarding smart cities, CPS, and AI applications. It defines current trends, recognizes long-standing problems, and suggests ways to bridge them, along with some directions for future research. This will help in understanding the ability of AI to make smart city adaptation strong concerning population growth, health crises, and climate change. It will also strengthen and connect the urban landscape of the future. Thus, by solving these problems and their consequent impacts, smart cities can totally transform urban life. 2026 selection and editorial matter, Jossy George, Kamal Upreti, Ramesh Chandra Poonia, Ankit Gautam, and Danish Nadeem; individual chapters, the contributors.
