Technology and the Environment: Implementing Smart and Sustainable Solutions into Our Cities
Description
This book presents a collection of research papers and case studies from leading experts in the field. This proceedings book explores innovative approaches to addressing environmental challenges in urban settings through the integration of technology and sustainability. From mapping urban flood hazards to leveraging artificial intelligence in e-learning and financial fraud detection, each paper offers practical insights and solutions for implementing smart and sustainable practices in cities. Case studies examine the impact of new urban spaces on human behavior, the role of digital communication in local governance, and the potential of renewable energy transition in reshaping Morocco's energetic future. Readers will gain valuable insights into topics such as smart tourism strategies, modeling solar wood drying, evaluating geothermal potential, and optimizing energy systems through machine learning algorithms and renewable energy integration. With contributions covering a wide range of topics, "Technology and The Environment" serves as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and students interested in harnessing technology to create more sustainable urban environments.
