| Abstract | Rapid worldwide urbanization enabled smart cities to develop into the primary solution, which combines technological advancements with data-based management approaches for tackling city-based obstacles. The initiatives present efficiency alongside sustainable operation and service improvements, but produce concerns that affect social equality and algorithmic prejudice, and digital isolation. People must question how data science impacts decision-making and planning for urban systems as these structures implement data-based governance, affecting both beneficiaries and excluded groups and modifying urban justice systems. This assessment investigates the relationship between smart city initiatives and data science methods, together with social equity, to assess the effects of data-driven innovations on governance models and service distribution patterns. This review combines findings from multiple academic disciplines through worldwide case studies to examine the facets of spatial justice along with digital inclusion in combination with algorithm transparency and participatory governance systems. The smart urban projects in Barcelona, Toronto, Singapore, and Pune demonstrate both worthwhile solutions against traditional urban management systems and technical system flaws that emerge from smart urbanism. Data science provides utilities for optimizing resource distribution along with public services, but its unethically deployed applications may violate existing equalities maintained by standards and group-inclusive methods. The analysis insists on using data governance that is transparent and inclusive alongside policies that advance equity in smart cities to create socially just urban futures. © 2025, Green Publication.
