Elsevier The Next Frontiers of Quantum Generative Intelligence for Smarter Eco-Cities: Transforming Environmental Sustainability Through Augmented Deep Generative and Foundation Models

The Next Frontiers of Quantum Generative Intelligence for Smarter Eco-Cities: Transforming Environmental Sustainability Through Augmented Deep Generative and Foundation Models covers advances in the convergence of quantum computing, deep generative models, foundation models, and urban-environmental intelligence to transform sustainable urban development. The book offers conceptual frameworks, theoretical insights, operational models, and empirical case studies that showcase how quantum-enhanced generative intelligence can optimize energy, transportation, mobility, water, waste, air quality, biodiversity, climate resilience, and disaster management in eco-cities. Detailed chapters examine deep generative models, hybrid quantum-classical architectures, quantum GANs and VAEs, diffusion models, transformer-based foundation models, and much more. The text bridges theoretical advances with practical deployment strategies, encompassing policy guidance and system constraints to support evidence-based decision-making in urban sustainability contexts. This resource benefits urban planners, environmental scientists, policymakers, technology experts, city managers, academics, and graduate students by equipping them with innovative tools and frameworks to design, manage, and operate smarter eco-cities. Presents quantum-enhanced generative modeling frameworks that improve scalability, uncertainty quantification, and predictive accuracy for complex urban-environmental systems Demonstrates applied case studies across multiple domains such as energy, transportation, biodiversity, and climate resilience, offering practical insights and measurable impacts for implementing cutting-edge technologies Provides integrated operational and strategic frameworks that translate advanced computational intelligence into scalable, adaptive urban decision-making and policy guidance, empowering stakeholders to optimize sustainable urban infrastructure
