This article aims to present a comprehensive overview of renewable energies and their impact on civil engineering, focusing on the contribution of this interaction to sustainable urban development. Based on a literature review and analysis of recent global data (up to early 2021), it discusses how sources such as solar, wind, biomass and hydroelectric are being integrated into infrastructure projects. In addition, it highlights the role of the civil engineer in the implementation of efficient and sustainable energy solutions. The article also points out the challenges faced by this sector, proposing ways to overcome them and increase the role of clean energies in the cities of the future.
