This book is an unusual attempt to study urban regeneration. First, it is based on mapping the realities of urban regeneration case study examples and their impacts on people, places, and city life experiences. Second, it is context-specific, exploring only a particular region rather than covering one country or multiple locations. Hence, the aim is to avoid generic and global solutions but rather focus on local pathways and directions. Third, it delves into specific case study examples that could share some lessons for research, practice, and academia, particularly in the field of urban regeneration. This book is the first of (hopefully) many more on the way in urban mapping studies with various themes and focus areas. The ultimate goal is to ensure urban mapping is recognized well and practiced extensively in research and education. It is essential to map realities in cities and communities, those that we usually witness but should be experienced, perceived, and touched—not just via desk research. Mapping techniques are more than just common tools in urbanism, urban geography, urban studies, urban planning, etc. They are not just tools but inventive ways of understanding cities, places, communities, experiences, and people. Thus, in this book, we try to understand more about people and places through life experiences and mapping the urban regeneration projects of multiple cities in Yunnan Province. This collection is based on a very concise context-specific research focused on only one region. The decision to do so is intentional, just because contextual, cultural, and local attributes need to be looked at more accurately, considerably, and dexterously. Hence, this collection delves into case study examples of an inspiring location where traditions remain, resources are plenteous, and cultures are diverse. Yunnan is one of the few provinces left in China that offers a lot for comprehensive research studies at the urban, rural, and township levels. The experiences we gained from mapping studies, observations, and multi-stakeholder engagements are exceptionally rich and vibrant, allowing us to think more holistically and find ways and suggestions beyond just the generic globalized models elsewhere. We hope the book will be useful to various stakeholders, particularly urban specialists, researchers, and students. It is also a valuable collection for policymakers, decision-makers, and governmental authorities, who should refrain from top-down processes and bring back people to the heart of urban regeneration processes.

Big Data Analytics for Smart Urban Systems aims to introduce Big data solutions for urban sustainability smart applications, particularly for smart urban systems. It focuses on intelligent big data which takes the benefits of machine learning to analyse large and rapidly changing datasets in smart urban systems. The state-of-the-art Big data analytics applications are presented and discussed to highlight the feasibility of big data and machine learning solutions to enhance smart urban systems, smart operations, urban management, and urban governance. The key benefits of this book are, (1) to introduce the principles of machine learning-enabled big data analysis in smart urban systems, (2) to present the state-of-the-art data analysis solutions in smart management and operations, and (3) to understand the principles of big data analytics for smart cities and communities. Endorsements ‘Over the many years of collaboration between academia and industry, we noticed the common language is ‘big data’; with that, we have developed novel ideas to bridge the gaps and help promote innovation, technologies, and science’. - Tian Tang, Independent Researcher, China ‘Big Data Analytics is a fascinating research area, particularly for cities and city transformations. This book is valuable to those who think vigorously and aim to act ahead’. - Li Xie, Independent Researcher, China ‘For urban critiques, knowledge trains aspiring opportunities toward outstanding manifestations. Smartness has evolved or/ advanced rambunctious & embracing realities along (with) novel directions and nurturing integrated city knowledge’. - Aaron Golden, SELECT Consultants, UK.

This book aims to introduce big data solutions in urban sustainability applications—mainly smart transportation and healthcare systems. It focuses on machine learning techniques and data processing approaches which have the capacity to handle/process huge, live, and complex datasets in real-time transportation and healthcare applications. For this, several state-of-the-art data processing approaches including data pre-processing, classification, regression, and clustering are introduced, tested, and evaluated to highlight their benefits and constraints where data is sensitive, real-time, and/or semi-structured.

This edited book provides a solid foundation for future research on cooling cities, climate change impacts on cities and urban environments, and innovative mitigation and adaptation strategies. With ever-increasing climate change impacts on our living environments and continuous calamities and natural disasters around the world, we urge for new approaches, apt action, and adequate support to boost cooling strategies for the built environments. To achieve this goal, research, practice, and policy could do much more to provide us with new pathways to achieve sustainable development. This book is a comprehensive collection of theoretical perspectives and global case study examples focused on three core areas of (1) concepts, theories, and trends, (2) mitigation and adaptation strategies, and (3) policies. The book is of use to various stakeholders and more importantly to urban specialists, planners and designers, policymakers, academics, practitioners, and developers. We urge them to mitigate climate change before it gets too late. We are confident the book could provide readers with new ideas, strategies, and directions that could lighten up the path toward new actions, policies, and innovation.
