Produktbeschreibung

Smart Universities in Smart Cities: Shaping the Future of Education and Urban Innovation focuses on how higher education institutions are adapting to the challenges of the digital age in a world increasingly influenced by technology and sustainability. Universities are becoming an indispensable element of smart cities, driving forward innovation, sustainability, and urban living.

The book explores how emerging technologies such as AI, IoT, and blockchain are transforming campuses into dynamic, data-driven ecosystems. Both of these dimensions are studied through data analytics, case studies, and futuristic thinking perspectives to identify opportunities and challenges of the establishment of smart universities within the broader ecosystem of smarter cities. The book offers a holistic approach to planning educational institutions, covering issues such as sustainable campus development, digital learning environments, and smart mobility solutions.

As universities undergo digital transformation, they advance not only learning but also the larger role of academia in society. The book envisions the future, where intelligent campuses act as centres of knowledge, collaboration, and sustainable development, propelling the world into a smarter and more inclusive reality for future generations. It will be of interest to researchers and students of urban planning and sustainability studies, as well as to urban planners and policymakers.
