This complete guide explores the potential of big data and the Internet of Things (IoT) as it examines smart city development.

Part I defines IoT and its role in creating a more efficient and livable urban environment. The fundamentals of Big Data are discussed along with "4 V's" (volume, velocity, variety, and veracity).

Part II tackles the design and architecture of IoT Big Data platforms and covers choosing the right technology stack, whether open source or proprietary solutions, ensuring the best fit for a city's needs.

Part III considers the technical aspects of core IoT principles, exploring sensors, communication networks, and how these devices function in real-world applications. It provides the knowledge to manage data pipelines, ensuring reliable data transfer, and design.

Finally, Part IV includes the real-world applications of these technologies examining the potential of IoT in smart public services, smart wastewater, and energy management, and exploring efficiency and innovation in building management.

This book arms readers with the knowledge and tools to navigate the world of smart city development. By employing the power of IoT and Big Data, cities will be more sustainable, effective, and livable in the future.
