Smart Cities: Blockchain-Based Systems, Networks, and Data examines the various components that make up a smart city. It focuses on infrastructure, processes, and services and outlines approaches for services such as health, transport, energy, and more. With an underlying emphasis on blockchain networks, the authors examine ways to provide the management of resources and activities by creating a more secure and trustless operating systems where resources are more effectively allocated and managed.

Blockchain is a decentralized, record of transactions that simplifies the recording of transactions and asset management in a business network. A single asset can be both tangible and intangible. A tangible asset (such as a house, car, cash, or land) and an intangible asset (such as a business) are two types of assets (examples include intellectual property, patents, copyrights, and branding). A blockchain network can track and trade almost anything of value. Information is the lifeblood of any business. The faster and more precisely it is received, the better. Blockchain is ideal for delivering that information because it provides instant, shareable, and completely transparent data stored on an immutable ledger that can only be read by network members with permission. A blockchain network could be used to track orders, payments, records, manufacturing, and a variety of other things. You can see all facts of a transaction from beginning to end because members share a single view of the truth, giving you more sense of trust as well as fresh efficiencies and possibilities.

Features:

- Novel approaches toward the provision of smart city services
- Detailed explanations of how a blockchain-based smart city network operates
- Novel design and architecture for cutting-edge technologies such as energy systems and vehicular devices interacting with blockchain across smart cities
- Monitoring of data flow and the movement of several data types across different components of a smart city
- Comprehensive analysis of issues affecting entities across a smart city and the effects of blockchain-based solutions

This book is a practical and detailed demonstration for researchers and industry professionals who would use blockchain technology for effective city management.
