We know the specific strengths of various cities, are aware of their ranking, are able to discuss their density and growth. But what do all cities have in common, what do we know about the “lowest common denominator”? The “city as a species”, the “primal genetic material of the city”: this is the subject of A Quantum City. This colossal work is a love letter to the city and intellectual culture. We follow the fictional narrative figure, Orlando, beginning in 320 BC, on his odyssey through the Western world up to the present time. The book is divided into four interrelated chapters and can be read page by page in a discursive manner, however randomly browsing through the book also offers new and multi-faceted interpretations. Great intellectual achievements are compared with obscure and mundane events. A Quantum City offers an inspiring view of the city that is in us and around us.

The book looks forward to the future of technological application in urban planning, construction, and property administration. The book not only discusses technology adoption tactics but also gives insights for researchers and industry executives to better comprehend market dynamics. It is an excellent resource for people interested in researching technological advances and their possible influence on future market dynamics. Although it seems like cities beyond the 2030s will merely be full of skyscrapers, this book offers a profound narrative that transcends the current applications of digital or material technology, envisioning a future wherein advanced mechanisms such as quantum rules, the metaverse, and sensing technologies redefine our urban existence. The author, who has been named research leader of the year and has over three decades of innovation experience, takes you on a captivating journey beyond the cityscapes of today. Based on his award-winning scientific publications and years of innovative practice or study, this book provides an insightful analysis of the impact of future technologies on our future professional lives. Drawing inspiration from historical cities and the ever-present quest for Utopia, the author proposes a new concept as our societal and technological paradigms shift: Qutopia—a term poised for further exploration. The future multiverses, which include interconnected virtual cities, are dynamic, ever-evolving entities allowing people to travel to the past and future or in parallel worlds. The harmonious interplay between cutting-edge technology and the human spirit will define Future cities. This thought-provoking tour begins with an overview of the digital technology market's future and its potential seismic impact on our daily practices. From the application of smart contact lenses to the evolution of job roles and the organic process of job redundancy, this book paints a vivid picture of a radically transformed urban life. Then, it explores how these innovations will shape future cities, leverage sustainability, and tackle climate change. This book opens a dialogue with the future, inviting readers to ponder the evolution of cities, the transformation of our practices, and the skills required for future jobs. Join us on this journey to uncover how the fusion of technology and urban development is crafting new narratives for the cities of tomorrow.

Japanese cities are amongst the most intriguing and confounding anywhere. Their structures, patterns of building and broader visual characteristics defy conventional urban design theories, and the book explores why this is so. Like its cities, Japan’s written language is recognized as one of the most complicated, and the book is unique in revealing how the two are closely related. Set perceptively against a sweep of ideas drawn from history, geography, science, cultural and design theory, Learning from the Japanese City is a highly original exploration of contemporary urbanism that crosses disciplines, scales, time and space. This is a thoroughly revised and much extended version of a book that drew extensive praise in its first edition. Most parts have stood the test of time and remain. A few are replaced or removed; about a hundred figures appear for the first time. Most important is an entirely new (sixth) section. This brings together many of the urban characteristics, otherwise encountered in fragments through the book, in one walkable district of what is arguably Japan’s most convenient metropolis, Nagoya. The interplay between culture, built form and cities remains at the heart of this highly readable book, while a change in subtitle to Looking East in Urban Design reflects increased emphasis on real places and design implications.

This book discusses the architecture, design and implementation of critical components of Sustainable Smart Cities to support governance, transportation, energy, healthcare, factories, technologies, securities, agriculture and education. The authors discuss the background of sustainable smart cities architectures and technologies and describe the problems that arise in design and implementation. In particular, this book discusses a proposed, 6G-based framework and architecture of IoT based sustainable smart cities. The authors describe the use of artificial intelligence in many zones of cities to increase the system's performance and efficiency. With the detailed discussion of energy management in smart cities, they have also presented how Internet of Vehicles (IoV) uses wireless communication and sensing technology to establish a network of information exchange between vehicles, infrastructure, and the environment. The discussion also includes Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) as well as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for IoT based sustainable smart cities. This book explores societal, economic, and practical reforms that would promote smart cities, based on a variety of case studies.

Digital Twins for Smart Cities and Villages provides a holistic view of digital twin technology and how it can be deployed to develop smart cities and smart villages. Smart manufacturing, smart healthcare, smart education, smart agriculture, smart rural solutions, and related methodologies using digital twins are discussed, including challenges in deployment, their solutions and future roadmaps. This knowledge, enriched by a variety of case studies presented in the book, may empower readers with new capabilities for new research as well as new tasks and strategies for practical implementation and real-world problem solving.The book is thoughtfully structured, starting from the background of digital twin concepts and basic know-how to serve the needs of those new to the subject. It continues with implementation to facilitate and improve management in several urban contexts, infrastructures, and more. Global case study assessments further provide a deep characterization of the state-of-the-art in digital twin in urban and rural contexts. - Uniquely focuses on applications for smart cities and villages, including smart services for health, education, mobility, and agriculture - Provides use cases and practical deployment of research involved in the emerging uses of digital twins - Discusses all pertinent issues, challenges, and possible solutions instrumental in implementing digital twins smart solutions in this context - Edited and authored by a global team of experts in their given fields

Urban codes have a profound influence on urban form, affecting the design and placement of buildings, streets and public spaces. Historically, their use has helped create some of our best-loved urban environments, while recent advances in coding have been a growing focus of attention, particularly in Britain and North America. However, the full potential for the role of codes has yet to be realized. In Urban Coding and Planning, Stephen Marshall and his contributors investigate the nature and scope of coding; its purposes; the kinds of environments it creates; and, perhaps most importantly, its relationship to urban planning. By bringing together historical and ongoing traditions of coding from around the world – with chapters describing examples from the United Kingdom, France, India, China, Japan, Australia, South Africa, the United States and Latin America – this book provides lessons for today’s theory and practice of place-making.
