This comprehensive book, the result of extensive international collaborative research, delves into the cutting-edge design of smart living for metropolises, megacities, and metacities, as well as at the community and neighborhood levels. Smart living forms one of the six core components of smart cities, alongside smart people, smart economy, smart environment, smart mobility, and smart governance. The successful implementation of smart living in any smart city requires active involvement from smart individuals and smart city governments, working in tandem with e-Democracy, e-Governance, and ICT-IoT systems. In addition to leveraging information and communication technologies, the Internet of Things, Internet of Governance (e-Governance), and Internet of People (e-Democracy), the design of smart living employs a range of domain-specific tools to achieve coordinated, effective, and efficient management, development, and conservation, while also enhancing ecological, social, biophysical, psychological, and economic well-being in a fair and sustainable manner, without compromising the sustainability of development ecosystems and stakeholders.

The book presents a collection of case studies, spanning over 10 cities, focusing on specific domain-specific aspects of smart living. It is divided into two volumes, with this volume specifically addressing community studies and strategies.

Through its comprehensive coverage, this book offers valuable insights into the future of urban living, highlighting the importance of collaborative efforts and innovative technologies in creating sustainable and inclusive communities. It serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, urban planners, developers, and stakeholders interested in shaping the smart living landscape of the future.
