Proceedings of the Conference on Technologies for Future Cities (CTFC 2025)
Conference Name: Conference on Technologies for Future Cities (CTFC 2025)
Date: 12-13 December 2025
Location: Navi Mumbai, India (Hybrid)
Website: https://www.futurecities.mes.ac.in/ These proceedings contain the peer-reviewed papers presented at the Conference on Technologies for Future Cities (CTFC 2025), 7th in Series, Theme: 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, held on December 12–13, 2025, at Pillai College of Engineering (PCE), New Panvel, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. The conference was organised in hybrid mode to enable broad national and international participation from academia, industry, and research organisations. The primary objective of CTFC 2025 was to provide an interdisciplinary forum for researchers, practitioners, planners, and policymakers to exchange ideas, share research findings, and discuss emerging technologies that address the challenges of rapidly urbanising cities. The conference focused on technological innovations and systemic solutions for developing smart, sustainable, resilient, and inclusive future cities. The technical program of CTFC 2025 was structured into multiple thematic tracks covering a wide range of domains relevant to future urban ecosystems. These included smart city architectures and applications; sustainable and green infrastructure; renewable energy systems; intelligent transportation and urban mobility; environmental monitoring; water and waste management; climate-resilient urban systems; and energy-efficient buildings. In addition, the conference featured tracks on artificial intelligence, machine learning, data analytics, Internet of Things (IoT), cyber-physical systems, digital twins, cloud and edge computing, and their applications in urban planning, healthcare, public safety, and infrastructure management. Contributions in communication systems, wireless networks, antennas, signal processing, VLSI, embedded systems, and smart sensing technologies addressed the foundational technological requirements of future cities. Further tracks emphasized computing and information systems, cybersecurity, software engineering, blockchain technologies, intelligent automation, and human-centric computing, highlighting the importance of secure, scalable, and citizen-oriented digital urban platforms. The conference also recognized the critical role of non-technical dimensions through tracks on urban governance, policy frameworks, education technologies, healthcare systems, social innovation, and ethical and societal aspects of emerging technologies. All papers included in this volume underwent a rigorous peer-review process, coordinated by the technical program committee, to ensure high standards of quality, originality, technical contribution, and relevance to the conference themes. The accepted papers represent a balanced mix of theoretical research, applied studies, and real-world case analyses, reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of technologies for future cities. The Organizing Committee expresses its sincere gratitude to the authors, reviewers, technical program committee members, session chairs, keynote speakers, and sponsors for their invaluable contributions and support. Their collective efforts were instrumental in making CTFC 2025 a successful and intellectually stimulating event. It is our hope that the research presented in these proceedings will serve as a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners and will inspire further innovation and collaboration in the development of future-ready urban cities.
