Abstract
A smart city is an urban area that broadly refers to a collective model in which technological advancements are used to enhance systemic capabilities aiming to enhance competitiveness, effectiveness, quality of life and sustainability. A major focus of the chapter is a review of smart city platforms and participatory-centric approaches and their potential translation to innovations across digital culture and smart city developments. The results provide a landscape view and further scope for identifying models of innovation and future opportunities in developing smart digital culture services and evolving directions, particularly within the museum sector.
