Call for Book Chapters 2026: Agentic AI in Smart Cities: Autonomous Systems for Sustainable and Intelligent Urban Futures / Taylor & Francis (CRC Press imprint) / No Publication Fees

Dear Colleagues,
You are warmly invited to contribute to a forthcoming edited volume that examines how Agentic AI is reshaping urban systems into dynamic, autonomous, sustainable, and intelligent environments. The volume integrates foundational theory, domain-specific applications, and international case studies in order to deliver practical strategies for resilient and future-ready cities.

Scope and Audience: The volume is intended for researchers, postgraduate students, practitioners, urban planners, and policy stakeholders working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, urban systems, sustainability, and cyber-physical infrastructure. Contributions are welcomed from engineering, computer science, urban studies, public policy, and allied disciplines.

Indicative Themes: Proposals are welcomed across, but are not limited to, the following themes. Contributions that bridge multiple themes, or that introduce new themes consistent with the volume scope, are encouraged.
1. Foundations and theoretical frameworks of Agentic AI in urban contexts
2. Intelligent mobility, transportation ecosystems, and digital-twin federations
3. Smart grids, self-healing energy networks, and building coordination
4. Environmental monitoring, climate response, and sustainability automation
5. Circular economy, zero-waste cities, and intelligent resource management
6. Industrial and cyber-physical systems for manufacturing and process industries
7. Smart and connected health, assistive autonomy, and wellbeing at home
8. Predictive public safety and resilient infrastructure
9. Urban operations, city-scale logistics, and utility management
10. Digital governance, accountable AI, and citizen-centred services
11. Adversarial threat models for LLM-based agents
12. Confidential and federated learning for agentic pipelines
13. Post-quantum cryptography for IoT and 6G
14. Standards, interoperability, and large-scale implementation
15. Global case studies and comparative urban deployments
