Urban Morphology and Sustainable Smart Cities: Application of Geospatial Technology

As cities swell and the pressure on urban infrastructure intensifies, the concept of the Smart City emerges not merely as an ideal but as a necessity. This groundbreaking volume offers an in-depth, multidisciplinary journey through the evolving landscape of urbanization and sustainable smart city development. This book offers a thorough description of the challenges posed by increasing global urbanization. Unplanned urbanization gave rise to the change of urban land use patterns, slums, inadequate housing, sanitation hazards, rampant pollution, and the rise of global epidemics. It focuses in particular on strategies and services to solve the difficulties and concerns raised by increasing urbanization. This book demystifies the smart city, not just as a technological aspiration, but as a living, breathing urban ecosystem.
