Abstract The metaverse concept for Nusantara Capital City, Indonesia, has become one of the breakthrough innovations in capital city development. Metaverse itself is a virtual world involving interaction among people in a digital environment similar to the real world. This article is part of research entitled "Application of Metaverse Technology, Digital Twins, and Implementation of Sustainable Urban Development to support Urban Future and Urban Governance in the Nusantara Capital City." This article emphasizes the concepts of metaverse, digital twins, and smart sustainable urban development for Nusantara Capital City. The data obtained from in-depth interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), and questionnaires result taken from urban as well as Information and Communication Technology (ICT) experts and policymakers. The research results show that the metaverse concept digital twins must basically consider the needs and benefits in the Nusantara Capital City (Ibu Kota Nusantara / IKN) and ensure inclusiveness for all layers of stakeholders.
