Civil Engineering Report on Smart Liveable Cities: Analysis & Examples

This report delves into the concept of smart liveable cities from a civil engineering perspective, focusing on the practical application of engineering infrastructures. The report examines real-world examples of smart cities, specifically focusing on Newcastle, Australia, to illustrate how these cities can be developed for the future. Key engineering infrastructures, including liveability, water, energy, and transport, are considered. The 'Walk Smart' initiative in Newcastle is highlighted as a case study, demonstrating how smart initiatives can improve public safety and enhance the liveability of the city. The report analyzes how this initiative, in partnership with the state government, enhances safety, increases the feeling of security, and leverages public transport networks. The report concludes by referencing key sources to support the analysis and findings.
