Urban Computing and Smart Cities: Web Utilities Characteristics that Support Sustainable Smart Cities

ABSTRACT

This paper explores the impact of the future web geoinformation utilities for sustainable Smart Cities. This paper proposes a smart cities innovation roadmap framework and recommendations for urban development enabled by efficient web geoinformation utilities for an integrated sustainability and public health protection at smart cities. The roadmap framework aims to support the innovation policies and sustainable development strategies of cities towards becoming “smart” for sustainability and public health protection. An innovative health policy roadmap is presented for efficient solutions in sustainable designs, and public health protection at smart cities using proper web geoinformation utilities. The latter could be useful in project management of particular services and activities that promote health within smart cities, like health urban tourism and safe operational management of integrated community health centres using proper web utilities. In this way could be achieved a quality assurance of fundamental efficient designs for a geo-health intelligence of sustainable smart cities embedded on future web technologies and user-driven innovation in future smart city ecosystems. Useful web utilities are presented for stakeholders achieving a better project management in terms of an integrated environmental health policy and safety for sustainable development at future smart cities. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
