Abstract The advent of smart cities has ushered in a new era of urban development, characterized by the integration of innovative technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the efficiency of city services and the quality of life for its inhabitants. These defining features aim to address the complex challenges of urbanization, sustainability, and resilience. Concurrently, the concept of authenticity in urban development has gained prominence, emphasizing the preservation of historical, cultural, and social integrity amidst rapid urban transformation. This paper delves into the intricate relationship between the technological advancements inherent in smart cities and the preservation of urban authenticity. It explores how the deployment of smart technologies can potentially enhance or undermine the authentic character of urban spaces. Through a multidisciplinary approach, this study examines strategies for balancing innovation with the conservation of the unique identity of cities, ensuring that the evolution toward smart urban environments does not come at the cost of losing their soul. The scope of the paper encompasses a critical analysis of current smart city initiatives and their impact on urban authenticity, offering insights into the future trajectory of sustainable and authentic urban development. © 2024 The Authors, published by EDP Sciences.
