Chapter 1: Introduction - overview and relevant background, including published (cross-disciplinary) research that provides a context and justification for the study. Chapter 2: Efficient buildings - tracking the evolution of the concept from the building scale within initial urban sustainability studies. Chapter 3: Up-scaling to the city - the emergence of the concept from individual buildings to broader coverage in cities through intelligent and smart development. Chapter 4: Becoming smart - examples of piecemeal development as smarter cities and, ultimately, to smart cities. Chapter 5: Smart energy cities - considers most recent developments, including the contemporary approach to efficient, low-carbon cities. Chapter 6: Technical issues - critically reviews problems associated with the technical dimension of smart cities. Chapter 7: Social issues - addresses potentially emerging problems of self-governance in an automated city that is monitored and collects big data; also relays issues of cybersecurity and privacy. Chapter 8: Conclusion - highlights contributions and also considers potential future problems with the current trajectory of smart-city development, including issues stemming from automation and reporting.
