With rapid urbanization defining the 21st Century, cities face mounting challenges in achieving sustainability, equity, and functionality. This book explores how innovative technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) can transform urban development by offering intelligent, data-driven solutions. LLMs go beyond automation, acting as co-creators in addressing environmental sustainability, resource management, and equitable development. By analyzing regulations, best practices, and real-time data on phenomena such as air pollution and traffic, these models empower urban planners to design smarter, more sustainable cities while fostering collaboration across disciplines.Divided into five sections, the book explores the diverse applications of LLMs, from optimizing renewable energy systems and enhancing urban planning to revolutionizing construction practices and improving resource efficiency. It highlights case studies on integrating AI with smart infrastructure, ecological balance, and disaster resilience. While underscoring their transformative potential, the book also examines ethical considerations such as bias, privacy, and environmental impact. More than a collection of research, this work is a call to action for urban planners, data scientists, policymakers, and researchers to harness AI responsibly in building greener, more equitable urban futures.

The purpose of writing of this book is to address the pressing challenges posed by the complicated relationship between human societies and their socio-ecological environments. It explores the interdependencies that define socio-ecological resilience, emphasising the importance of an integrated and interdisciplinary approach to achieving sustainable quality of life. The book will deepen our understanding of the interconnectedness of ethical considerations, community well-being, and environmental stewardship by examining contemporary global issues. The chapters will delve into the human-environment nexus, exploring how natural resources and geopolitical dynamics influence resilience and sustainability. The book will also addresses socio-ecological threats, including climate conflict, habitat destruction, and inequality, highlighting their impact on global quality of life. Furthermore, it presents strategies for creating restorative environments, emphasising sustainable development practices, natural resource management, and the transition to renewable energy systems. Through comprehensive discussions on the role of governance, the impact of global pandemics, and the significance of sustainable economic models, the book will offer a holistic approach to addressing these challenges. Ultimately, it will serve as a guide for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners, providing models and frameworks that foster a sustainable environment and enhance the quality of life for present and future generations.
