Abstract
Geospatial science and technology have an important role in the development of sustainable future, integrating renewable
energy sources, planning and building smart cities and monitoring environmental changes. One of the most useful tools in geospatial
technology which is used to implement all of the above for the purpose of development a sustainable future is GIS. In this paper, previous theoretical knowledge and practical applications are shown, as well as the development plans for the future. Some concrete examples of current GIS implementation for the purpose of development of smart cities are shown in the examples of the city of Edinburgh in Scotland and Kristiansand in Norway, using comparative analysis, environmental monitoring in the example of Ringkøbing Fiord in Denmark and the integration of RES in the example of Boston and South Dakota in the USA.
