Smart Cities are becoming increasingly important in today's world, and this book provides an overview of the technologies that are useful for their development. Smart meters for electricity and gas in buildings are already available, but there are possibilities to incorporate existing devices into wider networks with other smart devices that currently operate independently. This will improve the reduction of energy consumption in buildings, reduction of emission pollutions in cities, and improvement of the well-being of people. The book also introduces readers to new technologies that are not yet implemented in areas related to the efficient functioning of cities, such as Intelligent Transport Systems, Blockchain technologies, and others. The rapid advances in Blockchain technologies are also covered.
