Abstract	Environmental crises, hazards, risks, and disasters are among the challenges for sustainable urban development, which depends on the flow of data, generation of information, institutional framework, and the mindset that is conducive to proper decision-making. New developments in information and communication technologies enhance city planners’ capacities to elaborate and implement plans to transform a traditional metropolis into a smart city. These plans can enhance the resilience of the city once city administrators and their constituents adopt disaster risk reduction concepts and applications in their city plans to assure the resilience of a city. The chapter reviews the stages of risk assessment and management and then reviews literature that dealt with environmental problems and smart cities to argue that a smart city is capable of being resilient, and thus sustainable. © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
