Meeting SDGs in Smart City Infrastructures: Federation, Interoperability and Discoverability explores the current state-of-the-art practices in smart city digitization and e-governance processes, aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It discusses the pros and cons of various data standards and federation measures involved in the digital transformation of cities from both the end user and implementor’s perspectives. Utilizing real-world use cases from cities worldwide, the book highlights their goals and adopted measures. 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. It will help practitioners and researchers in the smart city domain better understand existing and evolving technologies and how to better formulate their processes to provide a sustainable model for urban development.
