Abstract
This study shows how smart city development revitalizes urban industrial heritage (UIH) and traditional industrial areas, especially by fostering public trust in government through open big data analysis. Rapid urbanization and industrialization have led to the degradation of many old industrial areas, causing urban decay and environmental concerns. However, smart city technologies show new opportunities for rejuvenating these locations, transforming them into vibrant, sustainable, and livable environments. The research shows challenges faced by UIH, such as outdated infrastructure, pollution, and neglect, and explores how smart city technologies can enhance resource efficiency, mobility, connectivity, and the built environment. It indicates the potential of open big data analysis to foster transparency and accountability, thereby enhancing public trust in government efforts. Various international examples of smart city initiatives illustrate the benefits of these technologies, stressing the importance of community involvement to ensure the success and sustainability of revitalization efforts. Additionally, the study shows an artificial neural network (ANN) to analyze relationships among various parameters, showing its effectiveness in understanding complex functions, even with training data errors. By modeling the connections between aging infrastructure, pollution, and factors such as resource use and mobility, the research achieves high predictive accuracy. The study advocates for a holistic approach to urban revitalization that emphasizes social, economic, and environmental sustainability. It suggests that integrating smart city development with open big data analysis can transform urban industrial heritage into vibrant, resilient areas, effectively addressing 21st-century challenges and enhancing public trust in government initiatives.
期刊介绍:
Cities offers a comprehensive range of articles on all aspects of urban policy. It provides an international and interdisciplinary platform for the exchange of ideas and information between urban planners and policy makers from national and local government, non-government organizations, academia and consultancy. The primary aims of the journal are to analyse and assess past and present urban development and management as a reflection of effective, ineffective and non-existent planning policies; and the promotion of the implementation of appropriate urban policies in both the developed and the developing world.
