The idea of smart cities aims to make cities more livable, resilient and sustainable with the help of technology. In this context, firstly, the concept of smart city is emphasized in this study. The emergence process of smart cities is examined, and it is tried to explain why and in what ways smart city applications are needed. In addition, it is stated which smart city application aims to prevent which aspect of climate change. In this context, it is thought that the study will contribute to the literature in terms of addressing smart city applications from a holistic perspective and matching smart city applications with policies to combat climate change.
