This comprehensive book delves into the latest research and practices related to the utilization of mobile information and communication technology (ICT) and the Internet of Things (IoT) to enhance the value of cities and revolutionize urban planning and management. Its distinguishing feature lies in its commitment to an individual-oriented evaluative perspective regarding the city, which considers the city's value to be the aggregate of visit values that individuals experience and appreciate when visiting the city. These visit values are conceptualized as the intangible asset value of the city's attractiveness, which visitors form in their minds based on their experiences, interactions with the city's space, and communications with others. Given the diverse nature of visitors to cities, it is crucial to enhance multiple visit values simultaneously to maximize the city's value. This necessitates the integration of ICT and IoT in living spaces.
In developing the concept of the social city, this book adopts an individual micro-behavioral approach. It then presents the most recent studies on technological components of the social city, including human-sensing technology for estimating individual behavior, decision-making, and mood; visualizing technologies for understanding city dynamics; and smart infrastructure for enhancing energy efficiency and sustainability. By exploring these technological advancements, the book provides valuable insights into how cities can harness the power of ICT and IoT to become more livable, efficient, and sustainable. It serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, urban planners, developers, and citizens interested in shaping the future of cities.
In conclusion, this book offers a groundbreaking exploration of the latest research and practices related to the utilization of ICT and IoT to enhance the value of cities. Its individual-oriented perspective and focus on technological components provide valuable insights into how cities can become more livable, efficient, and sustainable in the digital age. By embracing these advancements, cities can unlock their full potential and create a better future for their residents and communities.
