This book, based on extensive international collaborative research, presents a cutting-edge design for "Smart Master Planning" that applies to all metropolises, megacities, and meta cities, as well as sub-city zonal, community, and neighborhood levels. Smart Master Planning recognizes that all cities, to varying degrees, possess the six components of Smart Cities, namely smart people, smart economy, smart environment, smart mobility, and smart governance. It is a collaborative and simultaneous effort of E-Democracy, E-Governance, and ICT-IOT systems that operates around the clock, every day of the week, to design and execute Smart Master Planning in any city. In addition to leveraging Information and Communication Technologies and Remote Sensing, the design of Smart Master Planning involves the use of domain-specific tools that cover various aspects of a city to achieve coordinated, effective, and efficient planning, management, development, and conservation that promotes ecological, social, biophysical, psychological, and economic well-being in a fair and sustainable manner without compromising the sustainability of development ecosystems and stakeholders.

This book will showcase 12 case studies, each focusing on one or more specific domain-specific smart planning components. These case studies will cover topics such as Urban Land Management, Master Planning for Water Management, Comprehensive Master Planning Innovations, Smart Use of Master Plan Basics, Integrated Smart Master Planning, and Citizen-Centric Master Planning.

By presenting these case studies, the book aims to provide valuable insights and practical examples for policymakers, urban planners, developers, and citizens interested in advancing smart city development. It serves as a comprehensive resource that showcases the latest advancements and best practices in smart master planning, offering a roadmap for creating more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient cities of the future.
