"Artificial Intelligence is redefining the global infrastructure landscape, driving innovation across construction, transportation, and energy systems. The AI-in-smart-cities market is projected to grow from $39.6 billion in 2024 to more than $460 billion by 2034, reflecting exponential demand for intelligent automation and data-driven planning. Agentic AI introduces autonomous decision-making that allows city systems to interpret context and act independently, while Generative AI supports creative design, simulation, and optimization. Together, these technologies are enabling a shift from reactive to proactive infrastructure management--where cities can forecast needs, allocate resources efficiently, and respond to environmental challenges in real time. As urban populations grow and sustainability becomes an engineering imperative, understanding the integration of AI into civil systems is essential for both researchers and practitioners"-- Provided by publisher.
