Smart Cities, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 8(1), С. 23 - 23

Опубликована: Фев. 5, 2025

The rapid evolution of smart city technologies has expanded digital twin (DT) applications from industrial to urban contexts. However, current twins (UDTs) remain predominantly focused on the physical aspects environments (“spaces”), often overlooking interwoven social dimensions that shape concept “place”. This limitation restricts their ability fully represent complex interplay between and systems in settings. To address this gap, paper introduces (SDT), which integrates into UDTs bridge divide technological lived experience. Drawing an extensive literature review, study defines key components for transitioning SDTs, including conceptualization modeling human interactions (geo-individuals geo-socials), applications, participatory governance, community engagement. Additionally, it identifies essential analytical tools implementing outlines research gaps practical challenges, proposes a framework integrating dynamics within UDTs. emphasizes importance active participation through governance model offers comprehensive methodology support researchers, technology developers, policymakers advancing SDT applications.
