Developed in phases, the projects prioritizes specific goals to improve urban services and people’ built environment. By leveraging big data and IoT platforms, the Digital Twin empowers data-driven decision- making. Among these, Florence, Milan, Venice, Bologna and other cities approaches, offer replicable models for cities seeking to leverage digital innovation for a more sustainable future. This paper explores the Digital Twin role in smart and sustainable cities, focusing on incremental approaches that combines top-down and bottom-up strategies, stakeholder engagement and real-use cases, aiming to improve urban services, sustainable planning and citizen participation
