This paper argues for normative visioning as an underdeveloped component of adaptation planning. Multi-stakeholder and approaches to future offer generative moments when creativity can meet the power act required critical, including transformative, adaptation. Including methods with community city actors in planning allows alternative narratives development arise a basis deeper conversation pot...

This article explores city intersections as intelligence nodes using high-bandwidth, low-latency services for providing privacy-preserving smart applications. COSMOS testbed experiments edge-computing-based artificial-intelligence techniques are reported, monitoring of pedestrians, cloud-connected vehicles, and traffic management.

This paper examines how to outline and adopt innovative business models for the Smart Cities of future. are intelligent efficient communities ecosystems employing digital technologies respond a growing waste resources, unsustainable environmental impact, inefficiency in traditional processes. Considering greatest benefits on economies, societies, environment, many countries have now introduced ...

Environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions are becoming significant environmental issues in China, thus the sustainable development and revival of the country is impossible using the conventional path of encouraging economic growth at the expense of the environment. In response to the global warming, the prices of the traditional energy rise considerably, and a series of environmental...

In-depth understanding of concept related to smart city will contribute to avoid the one-sidedness and blindness of smart city construction. This paper collects and anal...

3D city models have become common geospatial data assets for cities that can be utilized in numerous fields, in tasks related to planning, visualization, and decision-making among others. We present a study of 3D city modeling focusing on the six largest cities in Finland. The study portrays a contradiction between the realized 3D city modeling projects and the expectations towards them: models...
