Abstract	In many places across the world, air pollution is a serious problem. Citizen-collaborative air quality monitoring and forecasting systems are gaining popularity as a potential solution. Community platforms with online air quality maps made by individuals offer a way to include people in environmental monitoring, increase public awareness of air pollution exposure, and support the growth of smart cities. The notion of smart cities places significant emphasis on the utility of technology in enhancing urban planning and management, as well as data-driven decision-making. Systems for citizen collaborative air quality monitoring and forecasting support this idea by giving residents of the city a means of gathering and evaluating data on air quality in real time. The article explores the role of social innovation techniques, such as co-creation and participatory sensing, in engaging citizens and raising awareness. Furthermore, these systems can contribute to the creation of smart cities that are more long-term sustainable and responsive to the demands of their residents by involving citizens and making use of technology. In conclusion, the combination of tools and social innovation significantly advances the concept of smart collaboration between citizens, researchers, and local authorities, fostering a stronger commitment to addressing air quality, and climate change challenges within smart communities. © 2025 The Authors
