Smart Cities: Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Urban Management

Smart cities aren't just sci-fi or cyberpunk dreams, but an actual solution based on Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things. But the question is, what is the mechanism that put it all in action? How far away humanity is from a futuristic picture of smart cities we saw in movies? To answer this question, I decided to shed some light on the current state of things for anyone interested both in existing possibilities and solutions we can track in the foreseeable future. For better or for worse, smart cities nowadays are less about flying cars, robots selling coffee, or other flashy visions from science fiction.
