Abstract	Geospatial Digital Twins combine georeferenced data, technology and sustainable ideas that offer an alternative to constructing new intelligent city paradigms without compromising society's satisfaction. However, creating a digital twin for cities to manage the territory is still a hypothesis, especially in Latin American cities, due to limited resources to gather data and have a vision for urban planning. In addition, most cities do not have protocols to obtain sustainability indicators for each reality to guide the construction of a smart city. We have developed a project to build smart cities in smaller regions, such as university campuses, using a Geospatial Digital twin to address this. The study compares four Ecuadorian university campuses representing different city realities, using a sustainable indicator (green space per capita) to derive new alternatives to manage the campus. Our preliminary results show that the most extensive campus, with more people or a better location, may not always be the smartest. We have also constructed a Geospatial Digital twin for each campus, integrating technologies such as GIS, IoT sensors, sustainable indicators, and resident satisfaction to structure alternatives. © 2024 IEEE.
