Why do we need to live in a smart city? Rapid urbanization causes compelling city problems worldwide, such as housing, traffic, schooling, healthcare, employment, and pollution. Numerous smart-city scholars and practitioners have attempted to tackle these problems but lack an integrated approach and practical implementation tools to solve them. This book explains how to build digital twin metaverse cities aimed to accelerate urban digital transformation through emerging technologies.

You’ll start by identifying a problem statement, designing a novel digital twin metaverse architecture, reviewing emerging technologies as building blocks and showcasing interesting applications. You’ll then review state-of-the-art digital twin metaverse development tools and present listeners with interesting engineering prototypes of my proposed digital twin smart cities. Finally, you’ll discover how to avoid some management pitfalls during the construction of innovative smart cities, including project management, change management, leadership skills, and modern management information systems.

With Building Digital Twin Metaverse Cities you’ll work with a novel architectural design and use the latest technologies as building blocks to construct smart cities of your own.
