Civil Engineering: Analysis of Smart Liveable Cities in Newcastle

This report examines the concept of smart, liveable cities, with a specific focus on civil engineering and infrastructure development. The report uses Newcastle, Australia, as a case study, highlighting the city's efforts in implementing smart solutions. The core focus is on how Newcastle is rehabilitating the existing stormwater conveyance swales, which involves removing existing vegetation, constructing rock headwalls, re-profiling the swale, installing line markings and bollards, and reinstating rock material. This project aims to minimize disruption to traffic and pedestrians, reducing construction noise. The report also references relevant sources such as the Newcastle NSW Government and the United Nations to provide context and support the analysis of smart city initiatives. The report's objective is to showcase real-world examples of smart city implementations, particularly within the realm of civil engineering and infrastructure development, to provide insights into how global cities can be transformed for the future.
