Generative AI and Generative AI of Things for Sustainable Smart Cities: Pioneering Environmental Innovations, Climate Solutions, and Infrastructural T
暫譯: 生成式人工智慧與生成式物聯網在可持續智慧城市中的應用：開創環境創新、氣候解決方案與基礎設施轉型

This pioneering book invites readers on a compelling journey into Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) and its groundbreaking convergence with AI of Things (AIoT), introducing GAIoT as a transformative frontier in urban computing and intelligence. GAIoT signals a paradigm shift towards more intelligent, self-learning, self-evolving, and context-aware systems--capable of generating adaptive, forward-looking solutions to the complex infrastructural and environmental challenges confronting sustainable smart cities.

With its combination of theoretical depth, applied innovation, and interdisciplinary scope, the book offers a comprehensive examination of deep generative models--namely Generative Adversarial Networks, Variational Autoencoders, Diffusion Models, Transformers, and hybrid architectures--and their applications in environmental sustainability, climate resilience, infrastructure optimization, dynamic decision-making, and data-driven urban management and planning. From synthetic data generation, data augmentation, and data imputation to predictive modeling and scenario simulation, GAIoT is driving the next wave of climate-responsive, environmentally conscious smart city innovation.

What sets this book apart is its first-of-its-kind focus on GAIoT as a pathbreaking force in shaping the future of sustainable urban development. It delivers actionable insights, conceptual and operational frameworks, case studies, and policy guidance--equipping diverse stakeholders with the tools to build cities that not only respond to change but also anticipate and shape it. Targeting a broad and cross-disciplinary audience, the book shares state-of-the-art research, presents innovative solutions, and forecasts future trends in urban transformation. As both a seminal reference and a practical resource for researchers, technologists, practitioners, professionals, and policymakers, it provides essential guidance for those engaged in advancing the next frontier in urban computing and intelligence.
