Abstract This chapter is about the possible and desirable networking of Smart City Technologies (SCT) with the emerging resource of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), for cities to efficiently and effectively achieve resilience from threats, hazards, and disturbances occasioned by an unsustainable development model. A new appreciation of nature, innovation, and technology with an integrative vision is necessary to face global and local (urban) challenges on time. The chapter contains: 1. A brief exploration of the emergence of Resilience in the context of Sustainability, to establish a description of Urban Resilience Policies. 2. A characterization of NBS in the urban context and relevant information about the tangible benefits they offer and their efficiency when confronting the costs of the threats they face. 3. Specific Smart City Technologies (SCT) that may enhance efficiency, effectiveness, and governance of NBS and deliver additional benefits. 4. Considerations on (policy and financial) viability of NBS. 5. Added values of SCT+NBS, such as enhanced effectiveness, stakeholder engagement, and synergism with other infrastructures and urban systems. © 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
