Smart Cities and Geospatial Solutions

The smart cities concept comprises all the aspects, ranging from the environment to the residents, their housing and transport, governance, and smart economy. Whatever the case maybe, smart cities are focusing on different aspects of research, reaching from sensors networks to social operation quality improvements. Smart cities make use of electronic sensors in order to collect data and advance the management of assets and services, with the end in view of the improvement of the quality of residents’ life. The smart city development is supported largely by the geospatial technology, which offers the infrastructure management, city planning, and spatial data analysis tools. The chapter explores spatial technologies integration into smart city projects, underscoring their relevance in ensuring sustainability and strength objectives. The use cases as evidence demonstrate the different application of geospatial technologies in smart city projects through remote sensing, GIS analysis, real-time monitoring, and visualization. Cities can utilize geospatial technologies to optimize resource allocation, make proof-based decisions, and develop urban settings of low carbon footprint and liveability.
