This book presents a road map to urban regeneration through the contemporary concept of smart cities. It investigates why the concept has gained adoption as it has but until now it has been geared towards a profit-making venture by large corporations and ignoring the economic aspirations of smaller companies and city councils. The technologies can provide enhanced liveability levels if the concept is redefined.This work will be of interest to academics and policy makers looking at exploring how to drive urban regeneration in a sustainable and inclusive fashion while supporting local economies. It presents a case study of Port Louis, Mauritius, with unique insights and data. Academics, policy makers and urban developers could potentially adopt the model and calibrate it to various cities and quantify the economic and social benefits.

Jahre sind ins Land gezogen, seit der Vagant zur Leuchtenden Stadt kam - mit der kleinen Vesper im Arm und Gammas Schwert in der Hand. Inzwischen hat sich die Welt verändert. Vesper reiste auf den Spuren ihres Vaters zum Bruch, schloss den Riss zwischen den Welten und beschützte damit die letzten Reste der Menschheit.Ein neues Zeitalter ist angebrochen und Vesper übernimmt die Verantwortung für Frieden und Einigkeit. Es scheint nichts zwischen der Welt und der großartigen neuen Zukunft zu liegen. Bis sich Augen öffnen - und Die Sieben erwachen.
