Smart Cities - Governing, Modelling and Analysing the Transition

Bringing together cutting edge research and technical development projects, this book sets out what is currently known about smart cities and builds on this by focussing attention on the governance, modelling and analysis of the transition smart cities seek to represent. In paving the way for such an understanding, this publication starts to account for the governance of smart cities and begins the task of modelling their embedded intelligence by way of and through an analysis of what the "embedded intelligence of smart cities" contributes to the sustainability of urban development.
