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.
