Abstract : In an era marked by rapid urbanization and evolving urban challenges, understanding the intricate relationship between sustainable and smart city principles is paramount for shaping resilient and future- ready cities. This study delves into the integration of sustainable and smart city principles, aiming to illuminate their interconnectedness in contemporary urban contexts. By analyzing the latest academic understanding of this integration, the research contributes to the development of comprehensive frameworks guiding urban development strategies. Through bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer, key factors such as air quality, intelligent transportation systems, internet connectivity, urban growth, solar energy, and learning processes emerge as central to understanding the interplay between smart and sustainable cities. This analysis informs efforts towards integrated urban development and resilience. The study hypothesizes that smart city principles build upon sustainable city foundations, as evidenced by interrelated indicators across urban domains. Recognizing the significance of this integration, urban planners and policymakers can craft strategies that prioritize sustainability, innovation, and inclusivity, thus shaping resilient and future-ready cities. By elucidating the symbiotic relationship between smart and sustainable city concepts, this research offers insights crucial for addressing contemporary urban challenges and fostering sustainable urban development globally.

In an era marked by rapid urbanization and evolving urban challenges, understanding the intricate relationship between sustainable and smart city principles is paramount for shaping resilient and future- ready cities. This study delves into the integration of sustainable and smart city principles, aiming to illuminate their interconnectedness in contemporary urban contexts. By analyzing the latest academic understanding of this integration, the research contributes to the development of comprehensive frameworks guiding urban development strategies. Through bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer, key factors such as air quality, intelligent transportation systems, internet connectivity, urban growth, solar energy, and learning processes emerge as central to understanding the interplay between smart and sustainable cities. This analysis informs efforts towards integrated urban development and resilience. The study hypothesizes that smart city principles build upon sustainable city foundations, as evidenced by interrelated indicators across urban domains. Recognizing the significance of this integration, urban planners and policymakers can craft strategies that prioritize sustainability, innovation, and inclusivity, thus shaping resilient and future-ready cities. By elucidating the symbiotic relationship between smart and sustainable city concepts, this research offers insights crucial for addressing contemporary urban challenges and fostering sustainable urban development globally.
