Smart Cities： Big Data Prediction Methods and Applications is the first reference to provide a comprehensive overview of smart cities with the latest big data predicting techniques.This timely book discusses big data forecasting for smart cities. It introduces big data forecasting techniques for the key aspects （e.g.， traffic， environment， building energy，green grid， etc.） of smart cities， and explores three key areas that can be improved using big data prediction： grid energy， road traffic networks and environmental health in smart cities. The big data prediction methods proposed in this book are highly significant in terms of the planning， construction， management， control and development
