The “smart city” concept has been increasingly popular both in scientific literature and urban policy. In recent decades, the emergence of new technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and artificial intelligence (AI), has facilitated a new wave of smart city development practices across the world (Caragliu et al., 2011; Albino et al., 2015). Nevertheless, it is still not clear what characterizes the smart city other than technologies. In this regard, Agnes Mainka’s Smart World Cities in the 21st Century is an ambitious attempt to explore the impacts of political willingness, infrastructure, and the world city status on the state and development of smart cities. This work intends to develop the underlying theories on cities in the twenty-first century by a global comparison of cities in Europe (e.g., London, Paris, Amsterdam), North America (e.g., New York, San Francisco, Toronto), Asia (e.g., Beijing, Tokyo, Singapore), South America (e.g., São Paulo), and Australia (e.g., Sydney, Melbourne). The book is divided into seven chapters. Chapter 1 provides a very brief introduction of informational world cities. The author cites her previous work and explains why she adopted the term “informational world cities” which combines different types cities and the associated infrastructures. The chapter also provides the basic structure of the book. In Chapter 2, the author provides an overview of urban development in the context of the knowledge society. Following Stock (2011:13), she defines the factors of the information and knowledge society and further proposes the defining factors associated with the smart society:
“智慧城市”的概念在科学文献和城市政策中越来越受欢迎。近几十年来，物联网(IoT)、云计算和人工智能(AI)等新技术的出现，推动了全球范围内智慧城市发展实践的新浪潮(Caragliu et al.， 2011;Albino et al.， 2015)。然而，除了技术之外，智慧城市的特征还不清楚。在这方面，Agnes Mainka的《21世纪的智慧世界城市》是一项雄心勃勃的尝试，旨在探讨政治意愿、基础设施和世界城市地位对智慧城市状态和发展的影响。这项工作旨在通过对欧洲(如伦敦、巴黎、阿姆斯特丹)、北美(如纽约、旧金山、多伦多)、亚洲(如北京、东京、新加坡)、南美(如圣保罗)和澳大利亚(如悉尼、墨尔本)城市的全球比较，发展关于21世纪城市的基本理论。这本书分为七章。第一章简要介绍了信息化的世界城市。作者引用了她以前的工作，并解释了为什么她采用了“信息世界城市”一词，将不同类型的城市和相关的基础设施结合在一起。本章还提供了本书的基本结构。在第二章中，作者概述了知识社会背景下的城市发展。继Stock(2011:13)之后，她定义了信息和知识社会的因素，并进一步提出了与智慧社会相关的定义因素:

ABSTRACT Accounting for tourists’ various needs, preferences, and behavioral patterns is critical for improved smart tourism planning. This paper presents a novel approach that integrates social media and agent-based modelling (ABM) to analyze tourist preference and simulate tourist decision-making. The proposed approach first uses social media to extract knowledge about tourist typologies and tourist preferences. The knowledge, together with that supplemented by questionnaire data, is used for developing an ABM that simulates tourist movements. The approach is applied for the planning of Zaolinwan Park in China. The case study suggests that the incorporation of social media could provide opportunities for an enriched understanding of tourist preference of potential customers and that the modelling of tourist movements can shed light on the planning of infrastructure (e.g., roads and alleys) and service facilities (e.g., food, shopping, and accommodation), which are essential to the functioning of tourism. While this study focuses on tourism planning, the presented method could be applied to other infrastructure and service planning scenarios at community and urban levels.

ABSTRACT Dockless e-scooter sharing, as a new shared micromobility service, has quickly gained popularity in recent years. In this paper, we present a practical approach to estimating e-scooter flow patterns without knowing the actual routes taken by the e-scooter riders. Our method takes advantage of a huge open dataset that contains the origins and destinations of millions of trips. We show that our models can help cities better support the emerging shared micromobility service. The additional information generated in the modeling process can also be useful for a more refined analysis of e-scooter trips.

ABSTRACT This Special Issue begins with a middle-range theory of sustainable smart city transitions, which forms bridges between theorizing in smart city development studies and some of the foundational assumptions underpinning transition management and system innovation research, human geography, spatial planning, and critical urban scholarship. This interdisciplinary theoretical formulation details our evidence-based interpretation of how smart city transitions should be conceptualized and enacted in order to overcome the oversimplification fallacy resulting from corporate discourses on smart urbanism. By offering a broad and realistic understanding of smart city transitions, the proposed theory combines different smart-city-related concepts in a model which attempts to expose what causal mechanisms surface in sustainable smart city transitions and to guide empirical inquiry in smart city research. Together with all the authors contributing to this Special Issue, our objective is to give smart city research more robust scientific foundations and to generate theoretical propositions upon which subsequent large-scale empirical testing can be conducted. With the proposed middle-range theory, different empirical settings can be investigated by using the same analytical elements, facilitating the cross-case analysis and synthesis of the systematic research efforts which are progressively contributing to shedding light on the assemblage of sustainable smart city transitions.

ABSTRACT The potential of technological innovation to address urban sustainability has been widely acknowledged over the last decade. Across cities globally, local governments have engaged in partnership arrangements with the private sector to initiate pilot projects for urban innovation, typically co-funded by innovation subsidies. A recurring challenge however is how to scale up successful projects and generate more impact. Drawing on the business and management literature, we introduce the concept of organizational ambidexterity to provide a novel theoretical perspective on sustainable urban innovations. We examine how to align exploration (i.e., test and experiment with digital technologies, products, platforms, and services) with exploitation (i.e., reaping the financial benefits from digital technologies by bringing products, platforms, and services to the market), rooted in the literature on smart cities. We conclude that the concept of ambidexterity, as elaborated in the business and management literature and practiced by firms, can be translated to the city policy domain, provided that upscaling or exploitation in a smart city context also includes the translation of insights from urban experiments, successful or not, into new routines, regulations, protocols, and stakeholder/citizen engagement methods.

ABSTRACT Land resource management is critical for optimal land use and improved socioeconomic development. In China, land resource management has always faced a dilemma between the excessive demands of land exploitation and the conservation of natural resources and ecological environments. Despite the challenges, recent technological advancements have offered the promise for government officials to better manage land resources using digital and big data technologies. The Chinese government has embarked on smart initiatives for land resource management (SiLRM) by integrating digital technologies with land resource management. However, the field of land resource management lacks a comprehensive framework for incorporating these technologies. This paper first reviews the history and content of SiLRM in China and presents three case studies that demonstrate how SiLRM are currently implemented in China. It then develops a framework for how government officials should deploy advanced IT technologies. The proposed framework, as well as some policy recommendations, could shed light on the future development of an integrated spatial governance system in China, particularly against the backdrop of a recent national reform that integrates multiple planning systems. The proposed framework may also have implications for related practices in other regions and countries worldwide.

ABSTRACT Deep learning applications in shaping ad hoc planning proposals are limited by the difficulty of integrating professional knowledge about cities with artificial intelligence. We propose a novel, complementary use of deep neural networks and planning guidance to automate street network generation that can be context-aware, learning-based, and user-guided. The model tests suggest that the incorporation of planning knowledge (e.g., road junctions and neighborhood types) in the model training leads to a more realistic prediction of street configurations. Furthermore, the new tool provides both professional and lay users an opportunity to systematically and intuitively explore benchmark proposals for comparisons and further evaluations.

ABSTRACT This paper closes a gap in the literature on smart cities relating to the metrics of future Internet-based developments. It achieves this by presenting the findings of a case study that overcomes the methodological shortcomings that otherwise exist in the metrics of future Internet-based developments and sets the stage for the renewable energies that play out as an urban and regional innovation. The case study serves to demonstrate how getting beneath the headlines that surround claims made about the metrics of future Internet-based developments provide the measures needed to bottom them out and verify whether the renewable energies, which play out as an urban and regional innovation, are not only clean enough for the growth this generates to sustain an ecological modernization, but also sufficiently inclusive for climate neutral adaptations to be just.

ABSTRACT Human mobility patterns have been investigated on a macroscale ranging from intra-city and intercity to intra-country based on mobile phone data. However, few studies have been conducted from a micro-view to characterize group-level human mobility behavior with respect to a point of interest (POI). In this paper, we intend to explore the differences in mobility patterns across those groups of community members at a specific POI. First, an appearance probability estimation algorithm is proposed to detect individual frequent locations for each user, and thereafter mobile users are classified into POI-related categories for further analysis of group-level mobility behavior. A hospital experiment is described based on a mobile phone dataset collected from Hangzhou City, China. An evaluation of this model illustrates the good performance of our scheme. Moreover, the mobility pattern analysis exhibits differences between groups with respect to frequent locations, radius of gyration, and population spatial distribution. The results of the radius of gyration distributions show that medical workers, out-patients, and passersby all follow an exponentially truncated power-law distribution, while in-patients present an exponential-law distribution.
