Abstract	In the dynamic landscape of urban development, the synergy of the Metaverse, Digital Twins, and Smart Cities emerges as a potent catalyst for transformation. The Metaverse, a vibrant virtual space, collaborates with cutting-edge technologies, including Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI), crafting immersive experiences. Simultaneously, Digital Twins, serving as virtual replicas of physical entities, instigating an industrial revolution, while Smart Cities harness advanced technologies for sustainable urban living. This paper explores the applications of converging these technologies across diverse industries, showcasing how Digital Twins reshape conventional practices and amplify the concept of smart cities through the immersive realm of the Metaverse. However, the exploration unveils challenges, particularly in data privacy, interoperability, and ethical considerations. The study advocates for a balanced and informed approach, emphasizing that the symbiotic relationship between Digital Twins and the Metaverse should steer the evolution of Smart Cities toward security, innovation, and interconnected urban spaces. © 2023 IEEE.
