Abstract

Lukas Donovan

In an era characterized by rapid urbanization and technological advancement, the concept of "smart cities" has gained significant attention worldwide. Smart cities leverage technology and data-driven approaches to enhance the quality of life for their residents, improve sustainability, and promote economic development. While the primary focus of smart cities is often on human-centric solutions, there is a growing recognition of the importance of integrating natural elements and wildlife into these urban environments. Kyoto City Zoo, situated in the heart of Japan's ancient capital, offers a compelling case study for assessing the extent of intelligence within such urban wildlife facilities and their role in smart towns and cities.
