Description
This book brings together some of the best thinking about how cities work in today's technology-enabled world. It reveals insight from many system perspectives to show in detail how cities can become smarter, be understood and meet the needs of their citizens.
The city is a complex adaptive system that requires constant management and renewal to continue improving the lives of its inhabitants. By adopting a systems perspective, cities can better understand underlying patterns, threats and opportunities, and work with them in a constructive manner.
With technology now able to integrate the systems within cities, making them more efficient and effective while using resources wisely, this book explains how cities can harness these benefits to improve the lives of their citizens. It also explores how cities are working together globally to learn from each other and make the most of technology.
