Humane and Sustainable Smart Cities delves into the creation of emergent smart cities that are firmly grounded in humane, innovative, and sustainable principles (CHIS). The book explores the transition from technocratic and idealized smart metropoles to humane cities, acknowledging that this shift is a result of profound demographic changes, the emergence of a usage-based economy rather than ownership, the novel implications of digitalization, decentralization, and decarbonization, as well as Internet-enabled changes in public opinion towards democratization and participation. The authors of the book examine seven key dimensions and characteristics of humane, sustainable, and innovative cities in the developing world: economy, people, place, energy and environment, mobility, social inclusion, and governance. Furthermore, the book includes additional sections that delve into the operationalization of the CHIS concept into formal planning, policy implementation, and impact assessment considerations. The final discussions revolve around developing a roadmap for planners aiming to design development policies that prioritize human values and foster long-term social viability.
