Demonstrates how big data empowered by cloud computing provides new possibilities for researchers tackling the grand challenges of sustainable urban development and transportation

Teaches readers how to launch new big data applications in urban sustainability, using successes in retail, telecoms, and banking to develop template patterns and design approaches

Provides the first framework for realizing the opportunities suggested by big data applied to urban sustainability, based on less expensive and heterogeneous infrastructures than those currently available

Transcends the theoretical by including a detailed case study derived from a real-world research project- the ISUNS transportation system in development in China
