Abstract

This research delves into the convergence of smart cities and Earthship design principles to explore the potential for creating sustainable, eco-friendly urban environments. Smart cities leverage innovative technologies to enhance efficiency, while Earthship design embraces sustainable building practices, renewable energy, and resource conservation. By combining these approaches, this study aims to highlight the benefits and challenges of integrating smart technologies and Earthship design concepts to build resilient and sustainable cities of the future. This study investigates how to develop metropolitan areas that are resilient, environmentally friendly, and energy-efficient by combining smart city technologies with Earthship design concepts. By applying Earthship concepts to the larger urban landscape, smart cities can incorporate biophilic design components, green areas, and integrated waste management systems. Earthship principles can be incorporated into smart city infrastructure to promote active community involvement and foster a sense of environmental responsibility among urban residents. Finally, the intersection of smart cities and Earthship architecture offers a cutting-edge solution to the urgent worldwide problems of urbanization and environmental deterioration. Cities may advance toward sustainable urban projects that prioritize environmental preservation, human well-being, and resilience in the face of an uncertain future by utilizing the power of technology and nature-inspired design approaches.
