Abstract	Smart cities are considered as a key area where innovation plays a critical role in making system transformation toward sustainability. Smart cites are based on advanced systems of hardware and software for mutual exchanges of energy and information between supply and demand sides for efficient, flexible, and resilient services, incorporating the behavior of different actors including generators, distributors, technology developers, and consumers through an intelligent network. Improvement in the efficiency of energy consumption will reduce emissions coming from energy generation, particularly those from coal power plants. Flexibility in balancing energy supply and demand through smart meters and affiliated technologies will facilitate the introduction of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, substituting pollution-laden fossil fuels. Electrification of urban infrastructure will also support the deployment of electric vehicles, which do not emit pollutants, unlike the conventional vehicles driven by internal combustion engines. © Cambridge University Press 2018.
