Abstract	Digital transformation has brought about significant changes in nearly all aspects of urban life, including mobility, energy, economy, and governance. In recent years, many cities have pursued smart city initiatives in order to address emerging urbanization and sustainability issues. However, the existing top-down approaches to smart city initiatives have resulted in decreased citizen participation, which, in turn, can lead to decision-making processes that lack inclusivity, diversity, trust, and accountability. As such, there is a growing interest in the potential of digital platforms for enhancing citizen participation in sustainable urban planning and development. This paper delves into the concept of platform urbanism and examines the capabilities of urban digital platforms in facilitating co-creation and innovation for sustainable and livable cities. Furthermore, it provides a number of select case studies, in order to explore how digital platforms can enhance public participation and contribute to more democratic and inclusive urban planning processes. Finally, critical questions and considerations related to the use of urban platforms are highlighted, and corresponding conclusions and insights about the future of urban platforms are discussed. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
