Creating a more resilient

Key words: [to use as knowledge, not to be copied verbatim]: Artificial Intelligence; big data; smart cities; climate change. Introduction: The need for a more resilient society: As human numbers continue to grow and urbanization advances, the probability of climate change impacting on impacts on natural systems and our quality of life outweighs any projected benefits of continued growth. To reduce society's vulnerability to climate change, we need sophisticated monitoring and modeling systems that can provide real-time data on the impacts of climate change, air quality and other environmental factors. However, current energy use and cities exert a heavy demand on the environment, which means that it is unrealistic to expect a return to a pre-industrial quality of living. As a result, cities will need to find ways to be resilient in the face of uncertainty.
