Green Blockchain and Improvement of Sustainability in Smart Cities by Anonim Pdf

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Computer Science - Commercial Information Technology, grade: 2,1, University of Duisburg-Essen, language: English, abstract: This thesis addresses the research question of what impact the use of blockchain technology has on improving sustainability in a smart city. For this purpose, first an insight into the emergence of blockchain technology, as well as its structure, characteristics and various consensus mechanisms is given. This is followed by insights into the different types of blockchain and the advantages and disadvantages of blockchain technology in order to create as comprehensive an understanding as possible. Due to the continuous progress of urbanization and the associated environmental pollution and destruction, it is becoming increasingly important to find innovative solutions to these problems. The United Nation's 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) offer countries and cities a basis for improving their sustainability. SDG 11 addresses the development of sustainable smart cities and communities. Smart cities use innovative technologies that are interconnected with each other across all areas of a city to drive sustainable and resource-saving urban development and provide citizens with a high quality of life. These technologies use sensors and other devices to collect data from their immediate environment, which is then analyzed to identify problems in their early stages and make improvements. However, the large amount of sensitive and personal data also increases the risk of security vulnerabilities. One of these technologies that could help improve sustainability in smart cities and also reduce risks is blockchain technology.

Computational Intelligence Techniques for Green Smart Cities by Mohamed Lahby,Ala Al-Fuqaha,Yassine Maleh Pdf

This book contains high-quality and original research on computational intelligence for green smart cities research. In recent years, the use of smart city technology has rapidly increased through the successful development and deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) architectures. The citizens' quality of life has been improved in several sensitive areas of the city, such as transportation, buildings, health care, education, environment, and security, thanks to these technological advances Computational intelligence techniques and algorithms enable a computational analysis of enormous data sets to reveal patterns that recur. This information is used to inform and improve decision-making at the municipal level to build smart computational intelligence techniques and sustainable cities for their citizens. Machine intelligence allows us to identify trends (patterns). The smart city could better integrate its transportation network, for example. By offering a better public transportation network adapted to the demand, we could reduce personal vehicles and energy consumption. A smart city could use models to predict the consequences of a change, such as pedestrianizing a street or adding a bike lane. A city can even create a 3D digital twin to test hypothetical projects. This book comprises many state-of-the-art contributions from scientists and practitioners working in machine intelligence and green smart cities. It aspires to provide a relevant reference for students, researchers, engineers, and professionals working in this area or those interested in grasping its diverse facets and exploring the latest advances in machine intelligence for green and sustainable smart city applications.

Sustainable Urbanism in Digital Transitions by Mary J. Thornbush,Oleg Golubchikov Pdf

This book examines how contemporary urbanism is influenced by digital and low carbon transitions. From its infancy at the scale of individual buildings, a focus on ‘green’ agenda, energy, and resource efficiency has fostered research and policies for low carbon cities, eco-cities, and increasingly intelligent and smarter urban systems. Cities around the world are getting ‘smarter’ as more advanced technology is integrated into urban planning and design. People are relying more on digital and information and communication technology (ICT) in their daily lives, while cities are adopting more digital technology to monitor and gather information about people and their environment. This leads to Big Data collection, which is used to inform governance and improve urban performance. These transformations, however, raise critical questions, including whether emerging smart sustainable cities are too technocratic, but also with regard to citizen involvement. This brief addresses these important contemporary concerns through a review of literature and existing urban strategies. It should be of interest to everyone involved in advancing sustainable cities and smart cities. It should also be a relevant read for students and researchers in this area.
