Abstract This chapter explores the potential of City Information Modeling (CIM) in achieving sustainable urbanization. Due to the growing concern about sustainability issues in urban life and the environment in recent years, CIM has been widely proposed by various municipal systems as a holistic approach to achieving sustainable urbanization in terms of urban planning, management, and design. This chapter will aim to outline the importance of CIM for urban sustainability in four main sections: (1) Data acquisition and management for CIM will be included a wide range of data acquisition and management techniques utilized for CIM and urban modelling to explore sustainability by examining the multi-aspects of urban components. (2) CIM for urban planning, design, and management: This section will discuss the use of CIM in urban planning, land use management, zoning regulations, infrastructure management, emergency response planning, and public participation, along with reviewing successful case studies. (3) CIM for public participation will explore how CIM can enable citizen participation and engagement in city decision-making. This section will present the planning process of informatics datasets to decision-makers and stockholders to be assessed more comprehensively due to the application of narrow datasets in spatial planning and urban modelling. (4) Future directions of CIM: This section will include the emerging trends and technologies in CIM and their potential impact on the future of cities, particularly smart cities. The chapter will summarize the critical contributions of CIM to achieving sustainable urbanization and suggest future directions for research and practice. The future directions section will discuss emerging trends and technologies in CIM and their potential impact on the future of sustainable urbanization. Overall, the chapter will provide helpful insights into the potential of CIM as a valuable tool in addressing the challenges of sustainable urbanization. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2024.
