Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Sustainable Smart Cities and Artificial Intelligence offer an intensive evaluation of how sustainable Smart City establishments are made at different scales through automated means of thinking, for instance, geospatial information, data examination, data portrayal, clever related things, and quick natural frameworks handiness. Progress in electronic thinking brings us closer to making a consistently reproducable model of human-made and trademark structures, from urban regions and transportation establishments to utility frameworks. This continuous living model empowers us to  manage and improve these working structures, making them dynamically observant. Smart Cities and Artificial Intelligence providea a multidisciplinary procedure, using speculative and applied pieces of information, for the evaluation of Smart City applications.

City dwellers are naturally turning towards explicit advances to convey issues related to society, science, and emerging technology. The idea of joining of sensors and Big Data through the Internet of Things (IoT) in the context of Sustainable Smart Cities bolsters their applications. This surge of data brings new possibilities in the intelligent design and management of smart cities towards a safe, comfortable, and inclusive environment to live and work.

While Big Data prepared through Artificial Intelligence (AI) can enhance aspects of urban life, sensibility and liveability estimations ought not to be ignored. As shown by the data dispersed by the United Nations (UN), the global population will reach up to 9.7 billion before the end of 2050. It is presumed that, for all intents and purposes, 70% of those people will be located in urban regions, with various urban zones home to over 10m tenants. As this number increases, we will encounter challenges with respect to resource management, ensuring that people have enough and that living conditions are maintained. Other challenges will be found in sanitation, traffic mitigation, and infrastructure.

Regardless, large parts of these issues can be addressed by the use of AI-enabled IoT. Using mechanical progress to support the experience for inhabitants of urban regions can increase their comfort and security. Therein lies the benefit of Smart Cities. A sustainable Smart City is a city that uses information to improve the quality of urban essentials such as sanitation and transport, thus reducing waste and excessive expense.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
