Critical infrastructures (CIs) such as power, water, transportation, and telecommunication are highly complex interacting systems that are vital to national security, economy and public life. They play an important role in several core urban computing challenges. Advances in computing resources and techniques have led to enormous progress in developing intelligent frameworks for analyzing these large heterogeneous systems. In this article, we survey state-of-the-art and foundational work in this upcoming area from a data mining perspective. We discuss basic concepts of CIs, their properties, impacts on them due to natural or human-caused disturbances and different computational methodologies used for modeling and understanding their behavior. We also discuss recent work that specifically deals with two critical sectors of CIs, namely power and transportation systems. Lastly, we also describe several existing tools and methods that are used to facilitate decision making for domain operators, enable efficient and faster disaster response for federal and state agencies and help improve the security and resiliency of these CIs.
