This book covers three principal subject areas: smart cities, general contractors and business models. The smart city concept is currently on the rise and cities around the world appear to be in a race to become smart, fast. Converting big cities into smart cities is a move that almost all cities around the globe have made, or will undoubtedly make in the near future, to be able to cope with the various repercussions of urbanization. Smartness is a vague term that could relate to anything and everything, such as infrastructure, people or governance. In this book, we focus our attention on smart buildings - large ones, in particular - and attempt to identify the key problems that France-based construction companies face today, in order to suggest plausible solutions. Our research findings show that no single business model can fit all smart cities worldwide. Using the general contractor business model for smart cities, this book proposes an original solution to managing smart city projects, bringing together architecture, construction and strategy.

A smart city utilizes ICT technologies to improve the working effectiveness, share various data with the citizens, and enhance political assistance and societal wellbeing. The fundamental needs of a smart and sustainable city are utilizing smart technology for enhancing municipal activities, expanding monetary development, and improving citizens’ standards of living. The Handbook of Research on Data-Driven Mathematical Modeling in Smart Cities discusses new mathematical models in smart and sustainable cities using big data, visualization tools in mathematical modeling, machine learning-based mathematical modeling, and more. It further delves into privacy and ethics in data analysis. Covering topics such as deep learning, optimization-based data science, and smart city automation, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for mathematicians, statisticians, computer scientists, civil engineers, government officials, students and educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

This book, examining smart-city trends and developments from global, Chinese and EU perspectives, shows how the concept of the smart city varies from city to city. A detailed analysis is made to present the smart city as an up-to-date model of world city. Thirty pilot cities answer questions designed by the “Smart City Evaluation Framework,” including managerial entities, stakeholders, project description and performance and whatever else relates to smart cities. By assessing the answers, researchers reveal major trends, best practices and challenges confronting smart city campaigns. Recommendations and solutions are provided. This is a must-read for anyone wishing to understand Chinese and European cities in terms of ideas about city development, plausible practice, natural and geographic conditions, economic structure and infrastructure robustness. Innovation and updates in telecommunication technology is regarded as indicative of city intelligence and green, low-carbon and sustainable development. This innovative book offers an interdisciplinary perspective and shall be of interest to researchers, policy analysts and technical experts involved in and responsible for the planning, development and design of smart cities.

With the gradual advancing of the construction of smart city, the new generation of information technology represented by the Internet of Things, Big Data, Mobile Internet, etc. has caused a strong impact on the existing business model of Chinese Real Estate enterprises. In this situation, how to choose the right business model innovation(BMI)strategy has become very important. Because the uncertainty of BMI decision-making scenarios and the complexity of decision-making data sources, most of the BMI decision-making methods proposed in previous literature are qualitative decision-making methods based on expert subjective knowledge. In order to fill in the gaps and improve the effectiveness of technology-driven BMI in the background of smart cities, this study uses Bayesian network mathematical tools to construct a decision-making model suitable for technology-driven BMI of enterprises, and to achieve computer-aided adaptive decision-making for BMI. Firstly, this paper identifies the types of BMI strategies of Real Estate enterprises under the background of smart city and the key factors affecting the choice of BMI strategies. Then, using the data of 86 Real Estate enterprises to train network parameters, a complete Bayesian network decision model is formed. Finally, the feasibility and validity of this method are verified by an example of Longfor Real Estate BMI. This paper can theoretically enrich and expand the relevant research on BMI and smart city, and can assist managers in BMI strategy decision-making, in order to achieve the purpose of improving the innovation effect of technology-driven business model in the background of smart city.

Abstract
 
Due to the high population density in urban areas worldwide, China - with the world largest population - is facing the increased pressure with respect to resource management as well. In order to sustain its economic growth, China has begun seeking new opportunities and the smart city concept - boasting a potential market value worth trillions of RMB - seems to be an optimal solution to obtain more investment funds from international and Chinese ICT companies. This report profiles the definition of a smart city and provides insight into the government policies, current industry development strategies and new opportunities expected to create for cities undertaking the smart city initiative in China.
