Abstract: Future cities development is becoming data-driven in the context of data science, pervasive computing, internet of things and urban automation. The talk introduces urban systems design and models of smart cities as living laboratory in Tokyo. It explores future urban living in the face of cimate change, radical urban transition and impacts of emerging technologies to cities. Novel methods are to be developed to integrate city information system, creative design, systems engineering, policy and technological applications to offer sustainable and resilient strategies for urban communities.
