People have been constructing buildings for thousands of years, so why the topics of “sustainability,” “smart cities,” and “intelligent buildings,” as “humankind’s highest invention” are of so much interest today? Initially, urbanization was relatively slow but accelerated quickly as economies have become more industrialized during the past hundred years, and as a result, cities began to boom. Nearly half of people worldwide now live in towns, cities, and megacities. They are attracted by opportunities for education, employment, and recreation. Consequently, the growth of these cities comes with challenges, but also with an enormous economic opportunity, if it is managed correctly. However, this rapid urbanization is making people spending the majority of their life indoors where humans are becoming indoor species within walled spaces. The difference, though, is only during recent decades, the building industry has undergone an unprecedented transformation by injecting digital technology to the forefront in planning, design, and development.
