Summary
This book is a look into the future of urban living, where technology and innovation shape the cities we’ll soon call home. Around the world, many cities are being transformed into “smart cities” that use advanced systems like the Internet of Things, cloud computing, electronic payments, and wireless networks to improve daily life. But with these exciting developments also come serious threats from hackers and cyber-criminals. Drawing on real-world projects in places like the U.S., Dubai, Malaysia, Brazil, and India, the authors explain how smart cities are designed and run, and what must be done to protect them from digital attacks. This book explores both the benefits and challenges of living in a connected, high-tech city, and offers insight into how these innovations will affect everyday people. It’s a practical guide to understanding the future of cities and how we can be ready for it.
