Smart Liveable Cities
The discussion is focused to introduce the Smart Liveable Cities concept with the help of
illustrative examples in relation to engineering infrastructures. While exploring the real-life
examples of smart cities in order to explore how global cities can be transitioned into the near
future, engineering infrastructures like liveability, water, energy, and transport will be taken
into main consideration. To do so, this discussion is focused on the chosen smart city such as
Newcastle, which is a port city of the popular Australian state New South Wales (NSW)
(Bibri & Krogstie, 2017).
Here, the main engineering infrastructure smart examples for the following engineering
infrastructure fields will be provided:
 Transport
 Energy
 Liveability
 Water
Improved Water Facilities in the City of Newcastle
In this context, smart engineering infrastructure for rehabilitating the existing stormwater
conveyance swales available in Sanctuary Estate is the real-life example in Newcastle. The
city Gov. is currently rehabilitating the swales within Bataba Way, Makoro Street, as well as
Awabakal Drive, and hence continuing into Serenity Crescent and Mowane Street.
This engineering project includes:
 removal of the existing vegetation and rock material
 construction of rock headwalls at the current pipes
 re-profiling of the swale
 Installation of line marking and bollards
 reinstatement of rock material
