Abstract	A smart city is one that is sustainable, liveable, and resilient. To tackle today's “wicked challenges,” such as climate change and biodiversity loss, smart cities of the future must be designed according to green infrastructure principles that prioritize social and ecological health. This paper discusses the role of interdisciplinary approaches to green infrastructure work in the education of future planning professionals. Using a range of theories from complex systems science, Indigenous Knowledge, social psychology, and other fields, the authors demonstrate how designers and planners must transcend disciplinary boundaries if they are to address the complex socioecological challenges that smart cities will invariably face. Through applied case studies at Ryerson University, the authors demonstrate the importance of creating an intersection between theory and practice and identify how social science techniques can be used in real-world settings to build relationships and promote interpersonal understanding in cross-sectoral, multistakeholder infrastructure projects. © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
