“…Smart cities sustainability is addressed in [47], where system architectures, control strategies and multi-vector energy systems modelling are depicted, as well as the integration of computational intelligence and machine learning for smart cities. The relevance of fog computing for sustainable smart cities is addressed in [48], which discusses the challenges an issues of fog-based IoT environments, highlights main applications of fog computing and discusses various caching techniques in the IoT era, even considering UAVs and AI/ML techniques and technologies. Smart contracts are currently an interesting object of study, as they make possible interesting interrelations among smart cities, and between these and their citizens.…”

In the last decades, the cities' capacity for generating digital information has grown exponentially. In this context, the successful implementation of smart cities' concept depends on the current possibility of handling the significant volumes of sensed data. This is particularly notorious in the case of urban mobility. Researchers in the field of urban planning have shown a great interest in urban mobility problems, proposing different route recommendation services towards making it easier and safer to move around the city. This paper addresses the development of an urban data platform and how to obtain and integrate information from sensors and other data sources to provide aggregated and intelligent views of raw data to support urban mobility. With the aim of evaluating the efficiency of the developed platform, we present an intelligent urban mobility solution, where the context-awareness, user preferences, and environmental factors play a significant role in the process of route planning. Finally, our work provides an experiment to assess different long-range wireless communication technologies to enable its implementation within an urban environment.

“…It enables us to establish an authentications system for peer nodes to securely share virtual cash, services, and encrypted transactions on the network to develop a secure and trusted relationship among the participating peers [18]. Blockchain helps CSPs to effectively handle (distribute, store, and record) cloud transactions and services in a way that doesn't compromise end-users Quality of Service (QoS) and acts as middleware technology to provide sensitive data protection, avoid delays in sensitive data, and delays in searching and sorting vast chunks of data being stored and processed on the cloud platform using encrypted cryptographic methods [19].…”

This paper reviews, discusses, and highlights some of the standard cloud computing vulnerabilities primarily related to virtualization platforms and their implementations while outsourcing services and resources to different end-users and business enterprises. Furthermore, we provide Blockchain-enabled solutions for virtualized cloud computing platform involving both the end-users as well as cloud service providers (CSP) to address and solve different security and privacy-related vulnerabilities using blockchain-enabled solutions to improve their cloud services and resource provisioning facilities.

“…To name a few, some of these integration methods indicate simple but effective strategies, such as bike-sharing systems [9], methods of disaster risk reduction [10] or disaster management [11], off-site construction [12], resilience enhancement [13], waste treatment approaches [14], and some that have led to the development of smart city initiatives globally [15]- [20]. Some of these have promoted urban systems design [21], which are utilized for enabling technologies and various techniques [22] [23] [24] in the development of the built environments. Amongst many examples, some of these technologies include Internet of Things (IoT) [25] [26] [27] [28], internet+ platforms [29] [30] [31], the use and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) [32] and informatics from communication technology views [33] [34] [35], such as big data, the application of cybersecurity [36], algorithm-based methods [37] [38] [39] [40], machine learning (ML) deep learning (DL), cognitive computing and big data analytics [20], automation methods [41], etc.…”

In a short time, during the early phases of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, we managed to shift rapidly to use digital technologies and replace some of our daily operations with virtual modes. This shift happened so instantly and widely that it enables us to argue that the COVID-19 became a valid reason to boost some of the gradual and ongoing transitions towards faster transformations. In this study, we use gray literature to delve into arguments around the boost for digitization, digitalization, and systems thinking in the development of the built environment. This is mostly discussed from the influence of COVID-19 on some of the existing practices or the business-as-usual of the built environment sector. From technological advancement to technology use, these arguments are put forward to discuss what is likely to be the major driver of technological adoption and the shifting paradigms that are yet to be revealed. The study concludes that the current push towards new directions and development pathways are likely to be widely accepted in a shorter time. The findings of this brief study feed into existing arguments on transformative pathways due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
