In the era of fourth industrial revolution or Industry 4.0, Computational Intelligence, Data Science and smart Information and Communication technology (ICT) are gaining huge importance in our society.Governments around the world started relying heavily on information and communication technologies to build smart and hyper-connected infrastructures that allow cities to provide better services to people and reduce energy consumption, as the global urban population is growing substantially.These intelligent technologies allow cities to introduce new ways of monitoring the atmosphere, buildings, street lighting, traffic, crowds, crime, etc.In building a smarter and more intelligent city around the world, Computational intelligence and ICT are the underlying technologies; but if not wisely applied, ICT can be a major environmental problem.At present, about 2 percent of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are accounted for by the global ICT industry.This footprint is expected to increase dramatically to about 14 percent by 2040, according to a recent report.Intelligent use of advances in ICT will assist in minimizing GHG while still achieving its goals.ICT is theoretically able to reduce the carbon footprint in other fields by a factor of 10, based on the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) report.ICT technologies such as Green ICT, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) can play important roles, not just in making our environment smarter, but also greener and more sustainable.
