The future of AI for Smart City Sustainability - A roadmap to 2030

From kitchen appliances to city-scale infrastructure, the built environment is a major driver of energy, emissions, waste and water usage. Connected sensors and equipment are providing ever-richer data to help forecast and optimize our use of resources at every level from homes to office buildings up to the regional level.

Now, artificial intelligence is giving us foresight into the future, and bringing autonomous control to utilities, mobility, and even social patterns. Soon non-human residents – plants and animals, corporations and robots – will be included in our definition of city systems, leading to a regenerative, prosperous future for all.
