Urban Systems Design: Creating Sustainable Smart Cities in the Internet of Things Era shows how to design, model and monitor smart communities using a distinctive IoT-based urban systems approach. Focusing on the essential dimensions that constitute smart communities energy, transport, urban form, and human comfort, this helpful guide explores how IoT-based sharing platforms can achieve greater community health and well-being based on relationship building, trust, and resilience. Uncovering the achievements of the most recent research on the potential of IoT and big data, this book shows how to identify, structure, measure and monitor multi-dimensional urban sustainability standards and progress.

This thorough book demonstrates how to select a project, which technologies are most cost-effective, and their cost-benefit considerations. The book also illustrates the financial, institutional, policy and technological needs for the successful transition to smart cities, and concludes by discussing both the conventional and innovative regulatory instruments needed for a fast and smooth transition to smart, sustainable communities.

Yoshiki Yamagata is the Head of Global Carbon Project International Office at the Center for Global Environmental Research, National Institute for Environmental Studies.He received his Ph.D. degree in System Science from the University of Tokyo, Japan.His research interests include Urban Resilience, Urban Analytics, and Urban Systems. Perry P. J. Yang, Associate Professor and Director of Eco Urban Lab of the School of City and Regional Planning and School of Architecture at Georgia Institute of Technology. Yang's work focuses on promoting ecological and energy performance of cities through urban design. He published extensively on ecological urban design, and has been awarded prizes in international competitions since 2005, including the 2009 World Games Park at Kaohsiung, Taiwan that opened in July 2009, featured by CNN as an eco-friendly venue.
