Abstract The preservation of cultural heritage is a crucial task in today's urban landscape, particularly in Mediterranean smart cities where historical significance is intricately woven into modernity. This article explores the complex interplay between tradition and innovation in preserving cultural heritage in the digital age. It delves into the multifaceted strategies employed to safeguard cultural treasures while embracing technological advancements in Mediterranean smart cities. This article illuminates the evolving landscape of cultural heritage preservation by examining a diverse range of case studies and theoretical frameworks. It investigates how digital technologies, such as 3D scanning, virtual reality, and augmented reality applications, are revolutionizing traditional approaches to conservation and interpretation. Moreover, it scrutinizes the delicate balance between the imperatives of preservation and accessibility, interrogating the ethical considerations inherent in digitizing cultural artifacts and sites. The article will highlight the pivotal role of community engagement and stakeholder collaboration in fostering a holistic approach to cultural heritage preservation. It examines how digital platforms facilitate dialogue between diverse stakeholders, empowering local communities to actively participate in the preservation process and ensuring that preservation efforts resonate with the cultural identity and aspirations of the inhabitants. It underscores the imperative of integrating technological advancements into heritage management practices while upholding the intrinsic values and significance of cultural heritage. By embracing the synergies between tradition and innovation, Mediterranean smart cities can chart a sustainable path toward preserving their rich cultural legacies for future generations. ©2024 European Union.
