Abstract: Abstract Successful implementation of construction and demolition (C&D) waste management is conducive to urban sustainability. With the rapid development of information and communication technology, smart management of C&D waste (SMCDW) is an inevitable trend. In the literature, more and more scholars have studied the application of emerging technologies or methods in C&D waste management, such as BIM and GIS. However, a comprehensive review of the main existing technologies or methods in SMCDW has not yet been systematically described and analyzed. To bridge this research gap, an analysis and review on the topic of SMCDW is conducted. Forty papers are retrieved according to a rigorous set of procedures. Through the analysis of these papers, five categories of existing technologies and methods in SMCDW are identified, including BIM, GIS, big data, AI and other particular technologies or methods. Among them, BIM has the highest application frequency and a wide range of applications, while GIS is the second one. Limited by the lack of data at this stage, the utilization of big data and AI is still less. Based on the analytical review, the limitations of previous studies are further summarized, such as the lack of comprehensive application of various technologies or methods, and the lack of exploration of SMCDW from the perspective of entire life cycle. Moreover, some potential future research directions are further suggested.
