Towards Sustainable Urbanism: Technology Applied to Water, Energy and Construction Materials Resources

Abstract

Sustainable urbanism has become a central axis for the construction of resilient cities in the face of climate change, resource scarcity and population growth. This article examines the role of emerging technologies applied to the efficient management of water, energy, and building materials. Through a systematic review of the recent scientific literature (2019–2024), advances such as the use of smart sensors, renewable energy systems and sustainable materials are presented. The results show that technological integration in these three pillars makes it possible to reduce environmental impacts, improve urban efficiency and promote sustainable development.
