Meeting SDGs in Smart City Infrastructures: Federation, Interoperability, and Discoverability explores the current state-of-the-art practices in smart city digitization and governance processes, aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It discusses the pros and cons of various methods, standards, and initiatives involved in the digital transformation of cities from policy-maker, implementer, and end-user perspectives. Utilizing real-world use cases from cities worldwide, the book highlights their goals, adopted measures, and their outcomes. It provides guidelines for achieving long-term service federation, interoperability, and discoverability while keeping the UN SDGs in perspective.
This resource is invaluable for practitioners and researchers in the smart city domain and will help them better understand existing and evolving technologies and formulate their processes to provide sustainable models for urban development.
