Abstract: The building and transportation sectors together account for a substantial share of global greenhouse gas emissions which makes these sectors essential targets for urban decarbonization efforts. The paper explores sustainable infrastructure by studying green building technologies and low-carbon transportation systems through an integrated analysis method. The research assesses key technologies which include energy-efficient HVAC systems and passive design strategies and electric mobility and hydrogen transport and sustainable public transit by comparing their energy savings and emissions reduction potential and economic viability. The study demonstrates that coordinated planning methods which include renewable-powered electric mobility and transit-oriented green development are essential for successful planning efforts. The findings show that cities need to use both building and transport solutions together with smart energy systems and policy incentives to achieve sustainability and adapt to climate change over the long term.
