Imagine a city built on renewable energy, smart home management, cloud computing, and sustainable building designs. It might seem like an image from the future, but in reality, it is the upcoming future of cities, and to name it more appropriately, Smart Cities.
Smart Cities are the new uprising models for future cities around the globe. Featuring a myriad of advancements in our current civilization, Smart Cities are the actual tomorrow we live in. Smart Cities will feature computational advancements that include data analysis and the role of technology in developing these Smart Cities. In addition, having a renewable energy source as well as developing energy-efficient optimization methods to conserve the energy resources needed to create the infrastructure of the currently emerging smart cities are some of the numerous obstacles yet basis for creating these astounding smart cities.
With the globally-increased importance of Smart Cities and following the success of the previous edition of IEREK's International Conference on Future Smart Cities, the 7th edition will cover everything from understanding the significance of building sustainable smart cities to the challenges that might be faced during the implementation of these smart cities.
The conference will open the doors for researchers and specialists from across the globe to discuss contemporary models and techniques for building smart cities and maintaining energy and other means to sustain life for future generations.

About ASTI
Advances in Science, Technology & Innovation (ASTI) is a series of peer-reviewed books based on important emerging research that redefines the current disciplinary boundaries in science, technology and innovation (STI) in order to develop integrated concepts for sustainable development. It not only discusses the progress made towards securing more resources, allocating smarter solutions, and rebalancing the relationship between nature and people, but also provides in-depth insights from comprehensive research that addresses the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) as set out by the UN for 2030.
The series draws on the best research papers from various IEREK and other international conferences to promote the creation and development of viable solutions for a sustainable future and a positive societal transformation with the help of integrated and innovative science-based approaches. Including interdisciplinary contributions, it presents innovative approaches and highlights how they can best support both economic and sustainable development, through better use of data, more effective institutions, and global, local and individual action, for the welfare of all societies. The series particularly features conceptual and empirical contributions from various interrelated fields of science, technology and innovation, with an emphasis on digital transformation, that focus on providing practical solutions to ensure food, water and energy security to achieve the SDGs. It also presents new case studies offering concrete examples of how to resolve sustainable urbanization and environmental issues in different regions of the world. Read More.
The ASTI series is fully indexed in Scopus and any chapter/ paper published as part of this series will be seen on the Scopus database. Some titles have been successfully indexed or submitted for indexation in Web of Science (ISI).

It fosters scientific exchange between Chinese and international scholars and practitioners, offering a platform to record the latest developments in the field. Encouraging international authorship and evaluation, it allows for the homologation of research and practice with regards to cultural diversity.
Built Heritage promotes the awareness for built heritage conservation in China and internationally, inviting scholars to reflect on current hot topics discussions as: the role of contemporary architecture in historic environments; the balance between conservation and development; new tools of heritage management; policy, culture and identity; energy consumption and sustainability.
