1. Artificial Intelligence Perspective for Smart Cities
2022 by Vahap Tecim, Sezer Bozkus Kahyaoglu
In the vast, sprawling universe of urban planning, where cities teeter between chaotic sprawl and the utopian dream of seamless living, the phrase “smart city” looms like a particularly enigmatic star. Nobody’s quite sure what it means, but it certainly sounds clever. At its heart, though, a smart city is about juggling the eternal trifecta of social harmony, environmental serenity and economic cunning—all while leaning heavily on Artificial Intelligence, the clever bit of kit that promises to solve everything from traffic snarls to existential crises (and possibly even misplaced socks). This book is a rollicking guide through the labyrinth of AI applications in smart cities, starting with the cosmic alignment of conceptual frameworks and GIS layers that sound suspiciously like the schematics of a pan-galactic hyperspace bypass. It explores how AI makes cities smarter, kinder and occasionally less prone to tripping over their own digital shoelaces—whether by improving accessibility for people with disabilities or figuring out what to do with all that pesky waste piling up in the corner of civilization. Packed with practical examples, ethical musings and a fair dash of Industry 4.0 wizardry, it’s the ultimate hitchhiker’s guide to urban intelligence, though one suspects the answer to it all might still be forty-two.

2. Recycle Based Organic Agriculture in a City
2019 by Seishu Tojo
Recycle Based Organic Agriculture in a City is a book that cheerfully tackles the colossal and slightly improbable question: “What if our garbage was the hero we never knew we needed?” In a world where cities are drowning in biomass waste (and dubious takeaway containers), Seishu Tojo presents a vision of urban farming so forward-thinking it’s practically wearing hoverboots. With a hearty nod to composting (and a cheeky wink at carbonization as the cooler, edgier cousin), the book spins a tale of cities transformed into lush, sustainable food factories powered by yesterday’s leftovers. Not just content with growing safe and tasty food, this tome dares to suggest we can recycle waste into energy, materials and possibly the smug satisfaction of saving the planet, all while making cities greener and more delicious. It’s a handbook for anyone who’s ever looked at an onion peel and thought, “Surely, you can do better.”

3. Smart Environment for Smart Cities
2019 by T.M. Vinod Kumar
In Smart Environment for Smart Cities, T.M. Vinod Kumar takes us on a whirlwind tour of urban environments so intelligent they could probably pass a Turing test—if they weren’t so busy managing our air, water and waste. Through a series of case studies, the book spotlights how cities can corral their collectively-owned environmental resources with the finesse of a juggler balancing flaming torches, thanks to e-governance, e-democracy and the IoT working tirelessly like an overachieving digital butler. With its blend of tech wizardry and old-school resource management, this guide offers a recipe for cities that can develop, conserve and govern all at once, while keeping both ecosystems and stakeholders blissfully satisfied. It’s a manifesto for the future of urban life—where cities are smart enough to not only clean up their mess but to do it with style.

4. Municipal Solid Waste Management
2019 by Hosam El-Din Saleh
In a universe where humans have perfected the art of creating garbage faster than they can spell "recycling," Municipal Solid Waste Management is the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the galaxy of rubbish. Overflowing bins, decomposing banana peels plotting a methane uprising and landfills threatening to out-evolve mountains are just the tip of this eco-apocalypse iceberg. Fear not, for this book is here to offer a gloriously methodical exploration of how to outwit your organic leftovers before they turn into greenhouse gas gremlins. With a blend of scientific rigor and the kind of optimism that only comes from believing compost can save the planet, the author deftly navigates through recycling wizardry, landfill alchemy and the head-scratching question of why we insist on consuming things just to toss them. Think of it as a guide for those who want to save Earth but would prefer not to do so while knee-deep in yesterday’s potato peelings.
