Urban areas are responsible for a significant portion of global energy consumption and carbon emissions, contributing heavily to climate change. The integration of renewable energy solutions into urban infrastructure offers an opportunity to transition to more sustainable cities, providing environmental, economic, and social benefits. This paper explores the current state of renewable energy integration in urban areas, examines technological innovations, discusses policy implications, and evaluates the challenges and opportunities associated with this transition. The research emphasizes how the adoption of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and energy storage technologies can contribute to the creation of sustainable, resilient, and energyefficient urban environments.
