Abstract

Cities are undergoing a profound transformation driven by technological advances such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and digitalisation, which are redefining how people interact with their urban environment. These changes underscore the need to design more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient cities, capable of balancing technological innovation with social well-being and environmental protection. In this context, the chapter offers a comprehensive analysis of emerging urban design paradigms within the framework of smart and sustainable cities. Based on a systematic literature review and a multidisciplinary perspective, it explores the intersections between technology, sustainability and urbanism, with special attention to key issues such as cybersecurity, resilience, and the circular economy. It also identifies innovative strategies, including green and blue infrastructure, humanistic and inclusive urbanism, and hybrid and modular housing. Finally, it proposes actions to foster urban spaces that are resilient, accessible, and aligned with contemporary challenges.
