There have recently been intensive efforts aimed at addressing the challenges of environmental degradation and climate change through applied innovative solutions AI, IoT, Big Data. Given synergistic potential these advanced technologies, their convergence is being embraced leveraged by smart cities in an attempt to make progress toward reaching targets sustainable development goals under what has termed "environmentally cities." This new paradigm urbanism represents a significant research gap itself. To fill this gap, study explores key trends driving factors environmentally maps thematic evolution. Further, it examines fragmentation, amalgamation, transition underlying models as well converging Data technologies solutions. It employs combines bibliometric analysis evidence synthesis methods. A total 2,574 documents were collected from Web Science database compartmentalized into three sub-periods: 1991-2015, 2016-2019, 2020-2021. The results show that are rapidly growing trend markedly escalated during second third periods-due acceleration digitalization decarbonization agendas-thanks COVID-19 rapid advancement data-driven technologies. also reveals that, while overall priority topics dynamic over time-some AI techniques sustainability areas received more attention than others. synthesized indicates increasing criticism fragmentation cities, widespread diffusion SDGs agenda, dominance ICT significantly impacted materialization thereby influencing landscape dynamics cities. suggests provides approaches tackling sustainability. However, involve costs pose ethical risks regulatory conundrums. findings can inform scholars practitioners emerging technology assist policymakers designing implementing responsive policies.

Sustainable development monitoring reveals the extent to which local and national territories are progressing towards sustainability goals. This study considered 105 indicators associated with Equitable Wellbeing (BES) framework 139 Development Goals (SDGs), using multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) cluster compare regional performance across Italian territory in 2022. At SDG level, Lombardia exhibited highest performance, while provinces of Trento Bolzano led at BES level. The results were further analyzed respect geographic macro-areas three dimensions sustainability, via separate analyses comparing results. Northeast regions emerged as top performers, comparable was shown by center northwest. a sustainable innovation model, alongside territorial cooperation synergy between specificities, may generate competitive advantages, especially when combined resources skills an international profile.

In the dynamic landscape of sustainable smart cities, emerging computational technologies and models are reshaping data-driven planning strategies, practices, approaches, paving way for attaining environmental sustainability goals. This transformative wave signals a fundamental shift — marked by synergistic operation artificial intelligence (AI), things (AIoT), urban digital twin (UDT) technologies. While previous research has largely explored AI, AIoT, UDT in isolation, significant knowledge gap exists regarding their interplay, collaborative integration, collective impact on context cities. To address this gap, study conducts comprehensive systematic review to uncover intricate interactions among these interconnected technologies, models, domains while elucidating nuanced dynamics untapped synergies complex ecosystem Central four guiding questions: What theoretical practical foundations underpin convergence UDT, planning, how can components be synthesized into novel framework? How does integrating AI AIoT reshape improve performance cities? augment capabilities enhance processes challenges barriers arise implementing what strategies devised surmount or mitigate them? Methodologically, involves rigorous analysis synthesis studies published between January 2019 December 2023, comprising an extensive body literature totaling 185 studies. The findings surpass mere interdisciplinary enrichment, offering valuable insights potential advance development practices. By enhancing processes, integrated offer innovative solutions challenges. However, endeavor is fraught with formidable complexities that require careful navigation mitigation achieve desired outcomes. serves as reference guide, spurring groundbreaking endeavors, stimulating implementations, informing strategic initiatives, shaping policy formulations sustainable, development. These have profound implications researchers, practitioners, policymakers, providing roadmap fostering resiliently designed, technologically advanced, environmentally conscious environments.
