Chapter 17 - Multidisciplinary challenges in green smart cities implementation

Abstract

Green smart cities are the collaborative hub linked with business, government, education, and the public to generate comfortable living in urban environments by encouraging change with scientific-based problem-solving. In simple terms, green smart cities are technologically advanced in solving problems without harming the environment. For implementing green smart cities, developed and developing countries are collaborating and signing a memorandum of understanding with one another. Government representatives, educators, and the general public should cooperate to successfully make a green smart city. Global connectedness, productivity, efficiency, and revolution are possible through green smart cities. Meanwhile, poorly regulated green smart cities will result in environmental difficulties such as socioeconomic inequalities, poor public safety, and conservational destruction. Furthermore, implementing green smart cities is not a simple strategy. This chapter discusses the challenges and issues in green smart cities' implementation.
