Future of Urban Intelligence presents the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI), digital twin (DT) and sixth-generation (6G) technology to redefine the future of urban intelligence. It provides a comprehensive overview of technologies, architectures, methodologies and real-world applications that will shape the cities of the future. While AI enables intelligent decision-making, DT technology provides dynamic virtual representations of physical urban environments. It offers continuous synchronization with real-time data. Moreover, the ultra-low latency, massive connectivity, high reliability and integrated sensing capabilities of 6G networks further enhance this synergy. The AI-DT-6G ecosystem supports holistic urban management. These intelligent systems will become increasingly autonomous, adaptive and capable of managing urban complexity with minimal human intervention.
This book also covers the various use case scenarios of this integration in traffic optimization, healthcare, water monitoring, environmental sustainability, immersive learning and industrial deployment.
