Explaining the role of reducing energy consumption in strengthening healthy cities in smart cities

Different dimensions and interventions can lead to the outcome of being a healthy, smart city. One of them is the smart management of energy, via a smart infrastructure—the system component that certainly should be considered in a smart city. Improving the quality of life is one of the big aims of smart cities. For this reason, the management of energy is one of the factors that directly and indirectly affect it and public health. The present study is a descriptive-analytical type, and through a meta-synthesis methodology, the analysis explores past studies on decreasing energy consumption and moving toward healthy and smart city initiatives. The conclusion provides actionable recommendations for realizing this vision. Studies indicate that achieving smart, healthier cities requires the integration of smart grids and renewable energy, the implementation of data-driven energy management systems, and the promotion of citizen engagement and behavioral change.
