<p><b>Collective insight of key thought leaders in the field to clarify and reshape the vision of smart cities</b> <p><i>Smart Cities, Energy and Climate: Governing Cities for a Low-Carbon Future</i> is a seminal work that draws together insights and case studies on post-carbon urbanism across a variety of fields—from smart energy grids to active buildings, sustainable mobility and urban design. <p>Another objective is to foster an understanding of how digitally-enhanced smart city solutions can assist energy transitions, and what new developments and challenges they bring in areas ranging from urban governance to energy security. <p>Key topics covered in this book include: <ul><li>Recent developments in urban planning, building design and smart technologies</li><li>Urban-scale digital platforms and innovation for clean energy systems, energy efficiency and net-zero policies</li><li>Socio-technical and political relationships in climate-neutral cities and smart cities</li><li>Context-rich, situated perspectives from Europe, Africa and Asia</li></ul> <p><i>Smart Cities, Energy and Climate</i> serves as a primary reference for scholars, students and policy makers interested in the conceptual, technical, economic and political challenges associated with the transition towards a smart and sustainable urban future.
