Authors:-Pavan Gowda
Abstract- The rapid urbanization of the global population has led to increased pressure on city infrastructure, resources, and the environment. Urban sustainability has become a critical focus for cities around the world, with the aim of improving the quality of life for urban residents while reducing environmental impact and promoting efficient use of resources. Artificial intelligence (AI) and big data are playing a pivotal role in the development of smart cities by enabling real-time data collection, predictive analytics, and optimized decision-making. This paper explores how AI and big data can be leveraged to enhance urban sustainability through smart city initiatives. It examines the use of AI and big data in key areas such as energy management, waste reduction, transportation optimization, and urban planning. The paper also addresses the challenges and opportunities associated with implementing these technologies in urban environments and discusses the potential for AI-driven solutions to create more sustainable, livable, and resilient cities.
