      Abstract Data-driven intelligence is essential to the success of smart city initiatives. In this talk, we
      will review our recent studies in developing creative and practical solutions to emerging challenges in
      smart cities. By integrating a wide range of information and uncovering the hidden wisdom of crowds
      in smart cities, our data-driven techniques can benefit citizens, transportation services, business, and
      government agencies. Both algorithmic challenges and societal impacts will be discussed.
