This edited volume examines strategies to make future cities more sustainable. The aim of these and other initiatives of the recent past, is to transform our cities into smarter cities. Thereby, these solutions are determined to boost clean electricity and pollution reduction, improve the life of citizens and transform city environment and regulatory structures.As the EUs ambition is to become carbon-neutral until 2050, the outlined projects also consider fostering economy prosperity and social wellness and environmental sustainability. The greatest challenge being already built urban spaces that need to be transformed quickly and at low costs. The book will analyze future smart cities in three centric dimensions: energy and sustainable development, smart infrastructures for smart cities, social involvement and economic prosperity.With its global approach, the volume is highly useful for professionals involved in city planning and urban ecology.

This book focuses on urban "green infrastructure" - the interconnected web of vegetated spaces like street trees, parks and peri-urban forests that provide essential ecosystem services in cities.

This book features expert contributions on key sustainability aspects of urban water management in Chinese agglomerations. Both technical and institutional pathways to sustainable urban water management are developed on the basis of a broad, interdisciplinary problem analysis.

The book addresses urban transformations towards sustainability in light of challenges of global urbanization processes and the consequences of global environmental change. Urban case studies from several international research projects illustrate our conceptual approach of urban transformations towards sustainable development.

This is a unique book that provides rich knowledge on how to understand and actively contribute to urban sustainability transitions.

The purpose of this book is to examine urban forests in cities around the world. Constraints and opportunities imposed on urban forest composition, design, and management by the ecological characteristics of these biomes will be examined.

Urbanisation and climate change are among the major challenges for sustainable development in Africa. Locally adapted IPCC climate change scenarios, which also consider possible changes in urban population, have been developed.
