Abstract

Sustainability and social energy are two concepts associated with smart cities. They aim to combat and contain the alarming environmental and socio-economic repercussions that urbanization has been causing on our planet. Smart sustainable cities drive to improve the life quality of citizens while ensuring that they meet the needs of the current and future generations. Sustainability is essential for urban transformation to achieve more resource-efficient, resilient and smart cities. The main objective of sustainable cities is to guide decisions for interventions in the city. Monitoring systems are examples of measures that aspire to ensure greater sustainability and energy efficiency, such as the application of air quality meters or smart water and light meters. Throughout the analysis of the collected data, it’s possible to develop alert systems and optimization models considering various metrics based on artificial intelligence. Therefore, allowing users to make better decisions to positively affect the course of actions in their cities and make it possible to apply sustainability and social energy measures. Thus, it is possible to reduce and improve the consumption of natural resources. Industry 5.0 is crucial in the evolution of smart cities. The complementarity role that this industry has been demonstrating is related to the technologies being developed, in which artificial intelligence plays an important role. This industry places its technology at the service of human beings, society and the environment.
