As cities worldwide face increasing challenges related to population growth, resource constraints, and climate change, the importance of sustainable city planning has never been greater. In recent years, the significance of Big Data as a tool for understanding and improving our world, especially in the domains of urban planning and design, cannot be overstated. Indeed, Big data analytics has emerged as a powerful tool to inform and enhance sustainable city planning efforts, and its applications have sparked a revolution, fundamentally altering the approach to urban development. This call for workshop seeks to explore the scope of Big Data applications in smart cities and urban planning and invites researchers to contribute original research, case studies, and theoretical perspectives on this topic.

Particular topics of interest include:
– Cloud environments for large-scale urban data analysis.
– Big Data analysis methods for urban sustainability.
– Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence solutions for Urban Planning, and Development.
– Sensor, Blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in Smart Cities.
