| Abstract: | The concept of green cities has been getting sustained focus for some time, intending to transform dispersed cities into environmentally, ecologically, and socially healthier spaces to live. The concept interlinks different domains of urban development, such as spatial planning, transport, water and sanitation services, urban greenery, renewable energy, sustainable building construction, and socioeconomic growth through green solutions. Energy planning and management play a vital role in transforming urban areas into environmentally sustainable cities. Integrating energy management as a key aspect of green city strategies from the pre-planning to post-implementation stages can expedite the process. This paper attempts to comprehend the intertwined role of energy management in green city planning through a comprehensive literature review. Relevant articles that discuss energy and management in interdisciplinary domains under the green city concept were identified and reviewed for the period—2000–2021. Diverse energy-efficient management measures and techniques are reviewed under seven domains of green city planning: green spatial planning, transportation, public infrastructure, urban agriculture, buildings, energy, and growth. The summarized literature emphasizes the relevance and significance of efficient energy management in the transition toward a green city. The study also discusses the need for a gradual transition and the challenges in successfully implementing and managing sustainable strategies. The successful implementation of climatic and environmental solutions through policy-level strategic interventions demands continuous effort and monitoring to achieve the long-term goal of sustainability. Energy-efficient urban development practices, with the foundation of a policy framework, can act as sustainable solutions to maintain the synergy between energy independence and urban development. Expediting the transformation of green cities with the adoption of energy-efficient strategies and renewables to decarbonize the energy supply is an accomplishable vision for every city.
