Urbanization is reshaping the world, with more than half of the global population now living in cities. However, this rapid urban expansion places significant strain on natural resources and the environment, necessitating sustainable urban development strategies. Smart cities have emerged as a solution, leveraging technology to enhance efficiency and promote sustainability. Environmental art plays a crucial role in this context, transcending traditional boundaries between art, technology, and nature. This article explores the impact of environmental art on smart city development, drawing on case studies from Singapore and China. It examines how environmental art enhances urban aesthetics, improves resident well-being, and revitalizes public spaces. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and suggests future directions for research in leveraging environmental art for sustainable urban development in smart cities.
