dc.description.abstractUrbanization has become a defining characteristic of modern civilization, with over half of the global population now residing in cities. While urban growth drives economic development and innovation, it also imposes significant environmental costs, including heightened carbon emissions, resource depletion, and widespread air and water pollution. Addressing these pressing challenges necessitates the creation of resilient and sustainable urban environments, leading to the emergence of climate-smart cities. These cities integrate climate adaptation and mitigation strategies into urban planning, infrastructure development, and community engagement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, enhance resilience to climate impacts, and foster eco-friendly lifestyles. This study examines the concept of climate-smart urban development and its critical role in combating climate change, promoting environmental sustainability, and strengthening the resilience of urban areas in the face of global challenges. Climate-smart cities are essential for addressing global climate change challenges and achieving sustainable urban development. Porto, Curitiba, and Singapore indicate innovative approaches to sustainable transportation, green building practices, and climate-resilient infrastructure through their respective case studies. These cities serve as global models for urban sustainability, demonstrating how integrated planning, innovative technologies, and community engagement can promote resilience, mitigate climate change impacts, and enhance quality of life for urban residents. To promote climate-smart cities, policymakers should prioritize investments in resilient infrastructure, renewable energy deployment, and sustainable transportation systems. Additionally, raising public awareness and fostering community engagement are crucial for building support for climate-smart initiatives and fostering an eco-friendly culture in urban environments.pt_PT
