The authors of the book examine technologies and tools such as UAVs, GIS, cutting-edge information and communication technologies, machine learning and big data to assess their potential for reducing traffic, redirecting traffic to assigned routes, monitoring traffic growth and development in our urban centres, with the ultimate aim of reducing congestion/commuting time, accidents, and pollution to promote climate action and a just transition. The book offers a comparative study of transport situation and planning in the developed and developing countries, focusing on the United States of America, Germany and Singapore in the Global North on one hand and South Africa, Nigeria and India from the Global South on the other. As more and more of the world’s population lives in urban centers, proactively monitoring and managing car traffic is essential. The book will be of interest to academics and researchers in the built environment (architecture, urban and regional planning, construction management, quantity surveying, geography), engineering, environmental sciences, social sciences, public policy, design in both the developed and developing countries.Earth and Environmental Science SeriesUrban policyTransportation engineeringTraffic engineeringSustainabilityGeographic information systemsUrban economicsUrban PolicyTransportation Technology and Traffic EngineeringSustainabilityGeographical Information SystemUrban EconomicsUrban policy.Transportation engineering.Traffic engineering.Sustainability.Geographic information systems.Urban economics.Urban Policy.Transportation Technology and Traffic Engineering.Sustainability.Geographical Information System.Urban Economics.307.76Aderibigbe Oluwayemi-Oniya1765240Gumbo Trynos1765241Fadare Samson Olawale1765242MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910879591403321Emerging Technologies for Smart Cities4206660UNINA
