Urban Informatics
Open-access edited volume from Shi, Goodchild, Batty, Kwan and Zhang, 2021, on the data, methods and infrastructure used to sense, model and run cities.
Cities & placesMovement & logistics
This large reference covers how data and computing support the operation, management and planning of cities. It explains how embedded sensing and networked populations make a city more responsive, and how they produce real-time and crowdsourced data at scale. The book reviews the main methods, including urban remote sensing (measuring the city from satellites and aircraft), machine learning and statistical modelling. Its technical guidance covers the analytical tools for studying smart cities and how those tools feed design and policy for efficiency, the environment and equity.
