Abstract	In this rapidly evolving era of smart city initiatives, the need for innovative, inclusive, and sustainable solutions is paramount. Existing approaches often prioritise technology over social, economic, and environmental factors, limiting their ability to tackle critical challenges in urban, regional, and rural environments. To address these limitations, a collaborative and participatory approach to smart city design has gained momentum, emphasising inclusivity and shared ownership. This workshop seeks to establish best practices for evolving human-computer interaction design, aligning with the United Nations' sustainable development goals. It explores the implications of technological advancements such as AI and the metaverse, aiming to ensure their integration supports principles of fairness, transparency, and social equity. Furthermore, it addresses the importance of "designing over a distance"to promote global collaboration and problem-solving. We are specifically interested in ways of "designing smart"by engaging and working with communities to address complex challenges, such as social inequality, economic disparity and environmental degradation, to build more sustainable, resilient and socially "just"communities. © 2023 Owner/Author.
