This open access book presents the exciting research results of the BMBF funded project iCity
carried out at University of Applied Science Stuttgart to help cities to become more liveable
intelligent and sustainable to become a LIScity. The research has been pursued with industry
partners and NGOs from 2017 to 2020. A LIScity is increasingly digitally networked uses
resources efficiently and implements intelligent mobility concepts. It guarantees the supply
of its grid-bound infrastructure with a high proportion of renewable energy. Intelligent cities
are increasingly human-centered integrative and flexible thus placing the well-being of the
citizens at the center of developments to increase the quality of life. The articles in this
book cover research aimed to meet these criteria. The book covers research in the fields of
energy (i.e. algorithms for heating and energy storage systems simulation programs for thermal
local heating supply runtime optimization of combined heat and power (CHP) natural
ventilation) mobility (i.e. charging distribution and deep learning innovative
emission-friendly mobility routing apps zero-emission urban logistics augmented reality
artificial intelligence for individual route planning mobility behavior) information
platforms (i.e. 3DCity models in city planning: sunny places visualization augmented reality
for windy cities internet of things (IoT) monitoring to visualize device performance storing
and visualizing dynamic energy data of smart cities) and buildings and city planning (i.e.
sound insulation of sustainable facades and balconies multi-camera mobile systems for
inspection of tunnels building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) as active façade elements
common space the building envelopes potential in smart sustainable cities).
