The formation of sustainable and resilient cities has become a critical focus in mod-
ern urban governance. Rapid urbanization, infrastructure deficiencies, unplanned
expansion, and social inequalities challenge the pursuit of sustainability in urban
contexts. In response, smart city applications have emerged as effective instruments
for addressing these issues. This chapter focuses on the Amsterdam Smart City
(ASC) Program as a key case study aligned with EU sustainability goals. Using
a literature review and qualitative content analysis, the study explores the impact
of ASC’s initiatives on environmental and social resilience. It assesses how ASC's
multi- stakeholder governance supports sustainability and evaluates specific smart
solutions, such as lighting and energy- efficient buildings, in achieving carbon re-
duction and circular urbanism goals.
