Abstract	A vast literature now exists on how modern communication and computational technologies (CCTs)—such as artificial intelligence and big data, and their use in smart grids, smart cities, smart health, and energy demand management—can help overcome both the environmental and socio-economic challenges cities (especially large ones) presently face. Smart grids, for example, promise to allow greater percentages of intermittent renewable energy in the grid, particularly the rapidly increasing supplies of wind and solar energy, and to help match electricity production to demand. There are many potential advantages possible with advanced CCT, but they need careful implementation because many potential problems can also occur. This review first examines what is needed to produce ecologically sustainable and more equitable cities. A critical aspect of this is the need for a global Earth Systems Science approach to include the environmental damages caused elsewhere by a given city. It then examines how the new CCT can potentially help achieve these aims. An important conclusion is that, in most cases, advanced technology availability is insufficient; strong policies are also needed. The shortcomings of actually implemented or proposed approaches are also examined. Finally, it discusses what future decades might bring and the implications for the new CCTs. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
