Smart City Blueprint

'What is good about Smart City Blueprint is that Yigitcanlar weaves organisational, behavioural, and planning practices into platforms that enable smart technologies to be effectively developed. And to do this, he does not mince his words concerning the difficulties of ensuring this integration but also the great opportunities that are available in future cities if we tenaciously grasp the changes that confront our long-term urban futures in an intrinsically digital world.' Professor Michael Batty, University College London, UK. 'Yigitcanlar's Smart City Blueprint is steeped in research-these two volumes are packed with expert insights on the intersection of technology and urban life. This is an outstanding reference from a preeminent scholar in the field, providing exhaustive coverage of the many dimensions of smart cities.' Professor Thomas Sanchez, Virginia Tech, USA. 'In the past decade both the amount of academic debate about the smart city and its societal impact have expanded dramatically. It has become increasingly interwoven with a host of urban development and governance functions, and this has made it conceptually complicated to obtain an overview all smart city development entail. If there is one author worldwide with a comprehensive view equipped for the task to build and present a nuanced and kaleidoscopic understanding of it, it must be Tan Yigitcanlar.' Professor Martin de Jong, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands. 'Smart City Blueprint comprehensively addresses major topics on smart city and provides insight on critical issues of policies, management, and governance for resilient and liveable urban communities. The book provides solid foundation and future directions on smart city and offers theoretical and practical implications based on extensive literature and case studies.' Professor Naim Kapucu, University of Central Florida, USA.
