“Green Energy for Smart Cities: Policy, Innovation, and Economic Development” provides guidance on integrating renewable energy into urban environments. This book offers a global perspective on aligning green energy solutions with urban policy, infrastructure, and socio-economic needs of cities as they face increasing climate challenges. Smart cities are strong solution to the urban energy transition. Recent innovative technologies are valuable tools for policymakers, industry professionals, and researchers developing sustainable, affordable, and inclusive urban energy systems.

Chapters review foundational concepts of green-energy smarty cities, and emerging challenges in energy security and the global energy transition. Chapters then examine the impact of technological innovations, governance frameworks, and ICT-driven optimization on the urban energy transition. Topics include renewable energy technologies, digital twins, citizen engagement, policy tools, and digital platforms like AI and blockchain. Additionally, policy and financial frameworks and tools for advancing climate-neutral urban development are discussed. Case studies on resilient urban development are also presented.

This book is valuable to academics, policymakers, industry professionals, and students involved in energy, urban planning, and sustainable development.

• Presents evidence-based strategies for integrating green energy into smart city planning and governance worldwide
• Examines technological innovations, policy frameworks, and digital tools for the urban energy transition
• Includes global case studies on inclusive, resilient, and sustainable urban development
