In the era of smart cities, the pursuit of sustainability stands as a paramount goal, with energy management playing a central role. This paper is dedicated to the exploration of early energy consumption prediction as a linchpin in the realization of sustainable smart cities. Employing advanced long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, we introduce a potent predictive model tailored to anticipate energy consumption patterns within urban environments. Notably, our model achieves remarkable performance metrics, with a root mean square error of 547.71 and a strikingly low mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 1.22. Through meticulous comparisons against baseline models, our LSTM-based approach emerges as a beacon of accuracy, reliability, and sustainability. Beyond predictive analytics, our research offers actionable insights for urban planners and policymakers, fostering the creation of greener, more sustainable, and ecologically responsible smart cities that harmonize technological innovation with environmental stewardship. As smart cities continue to evolve, our work lays the foundation for a future where sustainability is not merely a goal but a reality.
