About This Book
While technology is developing at a fast pace, urban planners and cities are still behind in finding effective ways to use technology to address citizen's needs. Multiple aspects of sustainable urbanism are brought together in this book, along with advanced technologies and their connections to urban planning and management. It integrates urban studies, smart cities, AI, IoT, remote sensing, and GIS. Highlights include land use planning, spatial planning, and ecosystem-based information to improve economic opportunities. Urban planners and engineers will understand the use of AI in disaster management and the use of GIS in finding suitable landfill sites for sustainable waste management.

1.1 Introduction
There has been marked increase in community engagement toward neighborhood development activities through crowdsourcing and crowdfunding efforts in several small-to-big towns of the USA and other parts of the world. These efforts have largely conceptualized due to increased prominence of neoliberal policies and continuously diminishing public funds to support community activities such as the arts, culture, community development, and the like. Crowdfunding is an online process of creating funds for projects through money donated from a âcrowdâ or bunch of people/backers who support the cause (Bouncken et al., 2015; Davies, 2014a, 2014b, 2014c; Elrod, 2014; Stiver et al., 2015). Thus, it is a new and unique way of funding compared to traditional borrowing that allows any one and everyone willing to fund -â individuals, groups, communities, or economic actors and investors who want to support the activity. Thus, these project ideas and products become largely owned by the group of fundraisers (e.g., individuals/supporters/entrepreneurs), who seek for money to get their projects fulfilled. Thus, crowdfunding is an idea that acquires its financial resources through open calls for donations, grants, etc., and in exchange, it rewards the donors with a voice in the project's conceptions and ideas (Bouncken et al., 2015; Bugge, 2011; Davies, 2014a, 2014b, 2014c; Elrod, 2014; Hemer, 2011; McCracken, 2012). Over last few years, the widespread crowdfunding initiatives, especially in terms of its geographic outreach, money raised, and number of platforms globally, including various new types of crowdfunding initiatives have also occurred (Davies, 2014c; Doucette, 2015; Stiver et al., 2015). The issues and themes of focus may vary for these projects, and yet the context and the concept remain the same â funded by a crowd/public who care enough to make the projects successful. More recently, these projects have largely focused on the arts, culture, music, urban farms, vegetable gardens, urban parks, community health, community mapping and needs assessment, reading groups, and any other social and economic cause that appeal to the public who care enough to support it (Davies, 2014a, 2014c; Miller, 2015; Soden and Palen, 2014; Sharma and Elrod, 2016).
Crowdfunding research so far has focused largely on assessing the network and motivation among people who commit to such causes online. On rare occasions, some scholars have examined the role of place and space (e., Brown, 2012, 2014 and Agrawal et al., 2015), wherein a project's spatiality/geographic attributes and the effectiveness in their implementation has been linke...
