Abstract The urgency of sustainable urban development has propelled wind energy and hydropower to the forefront of smart city initiatives. This article explores the strategic integration of wind energy and hydropower in urban settings, emphasizing their potential to mutually reinforce each other. Wind energy, derived from atmospheric kinetic power, and hydropower, generated by the gravitational force of flowing water, offer distinct advantages. When thoughtfully combined, they enhance energy stability, grid reliability, and peak energy demand fulfillment. The primary advantage of this integration lies in the natural synchronicity of wind and hydropower, addressing the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources. This collaboration reduces greenhouse gas emissions, environmental impact, and enhances energy security, economic growth, and urban resilience. Through case studies and innovations, this review underlines the promising future of wind-hydropower integration in smart cities, underscoring the need for continued innovation, policy support, education, awareness, and partnerships. In summary, strategic wind and hydropower integration has the potential to be a cornerstone of smart city development and the global shift to cleaner, more resilient energy sources. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2024.
