Urban areas are a major contributors of global carbon emissions with transportation, factories and construction sectors contributing to the majority of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Urbanisation also demands excessive energy and creates pollution. Many prior studies have reported the direct relationship between rapid urbanization and an increase in carbon emissions. This chapter aims to highlight the carbon emission related challenges to o the urbanization and actions to address those challenges. Further, this chapter also outlines various SDGs aligned strategies to reduce the carbon emissions due to urbanization and suggests policy actions to adopt green technologies that resulted in the level of carbon footprint. It provides important insights into low-carbon transportation systems, smart waste management system and green digital infrastructure to reduce the carbon footprint in the urban area and help achieve SDG7, SDG9, SDG11, and SDG 15.
