Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue titled 'Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Smart Cities' explores the transformative role of AI in enhancing urban environments. As cities worldwide strive for smarter, more sustainable development, AI emerges as a pivotal force in orchestrating complex urban systems and services. This Special Issue aims to gather cutting-edge research that showcases AI-driven innovations in urban planning, infrastructure management, environmental monitoring, and public safety. Contributions will demonstrate how AI technologies such as machine learning, data analytics, and IoT integration not only optimize city operations but also improve quality of life and reduce ecological footprints. By highlighting diverse implementations from global contexts, this Issue will offer insights into challenges, technological advancements, and policy frameworks shaping the future of smart cities. It seeks to spur academic discourse and guide practical implementations that propel cities towards more adaptive, resilient, and intelligent futures.
