As cities worldwide strive for sustainability, integrating advanced energy technologies poses challenges and opportunities for maintaining urban authenticity. This paper explores how modern sustainable energy solutions can be harmonized with urban landscapes' historical and cultural identities. It critically examines recent advancements in sustainable energy technologies, including solar, wind, and emerging options like geothermal and tidal power, and their implementation within the urban fabric. The paper evaluates how these technologies impact cities' visual, social, and economic aspects while aiming to preserve their unique characteristics and local authenticity. Through comparative analysis of diverse global cities that have successfully balanced technological integration with cultural preservation, this study identifies key strategies and challenges. It also proposes policy recommendations for urban planners and developers to consider sustainability that complements rather than compromises the historical and cultural essence of cities. The goal is to provide a framework for creating energy-efficient, sustainable cities that remain true to their authentic urban landscapes.
Key words: Sustainable Energy Technologies / Urban Authenticity / Energy-efficient Urban Design / Cultural Preservation / Urban Planning
