TL;DR
IDEAL-CITIES is a framework designed to enable smart cities to adopt a data-driven Circular Economy model by leveraging cyber-physical systems, crowdsourcing, and real-time decision making for sustainable resource utilization.
Contribution
It introduces a novel architecture for cyber-physical systems that supports circular economy principles in smart city environments.
Findings
Demonstrated two use cases showing circular economy in smart cities
Proposed architecture enhances resource utilization and sustainability
Supports real-time decision making and crowdsourcing
Abstract
Reflecting upon the sustainability challenges cities will be facing in the near future and the recent technological developments allowing cities to become "smart", we introduce IDEAL-CITIES; a framework aiming to provide an architecture for cyber-physical systems to deliver a data-driven Circular Economy model in a city context. In the IDEAL-CITIES ecosystem, the city's finite resources as well as citizens will form the pool of intelligent assets in order to contribute to high utilization through crowdsourcing and real-time decision making and planning. We describe two use cases as a vehicle to demonstrate how a smart city can serve the Circular Economy paradigm.
