Abstract: This survey critically examines the integration of energy management systems within smart residential buildings, serving as key nodes in the smart city network. It systematically maps out the intricate relationships between smart grid technologies, energy storage capabilities, infrastructure development, and their confluence in residential settings. From the evolution of power generation methods, incorporating both traditional and renewable sources, to the cutting-edge progress in energy-efficient transport systems, we assess their cumulative impact on the smart urban environment. While our approach is rooted in theoretical exploration rather than mathematical modeling, we provide a comprehensive review of the prevailing frameworks and methodologies that drive energy management in smart urban ecosystems. We also discuss the implications of these systems on urban sustainability and the critical importance of integrating various energy domains to facilitate effective energy governance. By bringing together a diverse array of scholarly insights, our paper aspires to enhance the understanding of energy interdependencies in smart cities and to catalyze the development of innovative, sustainable policies and practices that will define the future of urban energy management. Through this expanded perspective, we underscore the necessity of cross-disciplinary research and the adoption of holistic strategies to optimize energy usage, reduce carbon footprints, and promote resilient urban living in the era of smart cities.
