Abstract
This final chapter concludes with the purpose of providing a summary of urban life and the ambient in smart cities, learning cities, and future cities as presented across the chapters of this book. An integrated conceptual framework for urban life and the ambient in smart cities is formulated bringing together the conceptual frameworks provided in each chapter, resulting in a componential rendering. In summarizing the content across chapters, a tabular approach is used for literature review findings pertaining to issues, controversies, and problems as well as findings from the exploratory case study approach conducted in combination with an explanatory correlational design. Also, tabular presentations are provided for a variety of elements including variables explored and their correlations, and for insights, ideas, and exercises. The comparative glimpse across chapters enables a discussion of patterns and trends emerging across the dynamic, interdisciplinary space of urban life in smart cities.
