Objectives
The main objective of this course is to study in detail all aspects of "smart cities", a concept that refers to the application of Artificial Intelligence and Information and Communication Technologies for the planning, management and provision of services in the cities of the future, through the innovative and disruptive use of data, technologies and available resources, involving citizens, to help solve major challenges of today's big cities such as traffic congestion, environmental pollution, inequality in access to opportunities and reduced quality of life. At the end of the course, the student will know the fundamentals and the most important application areas of AI in the cities of the future and will be able to approach and analyze the deployment of this type of solutions in scenarios that can achieve significant improvements.
