Abstract Even though liveability was a major focus of ancient and modern urban thinking, with an aim of enhancing both societal and economic benefits, the consideration of cultural and inclusive attributes of cities is often overlooked. However, they are key in shaping people’s sense of belonging and in building the identity of places; hence, they are an essential dimension in the pursuit of urban sustainability. The current concept of Smart Cities undermines those attributes and tends to portray and promote modernist principles that smart digital data alone is all that is needed for making good cities. Such ideas are counterproductive in the preservation and celebration of culture and can exclude many parts of society. This chapter explores the paradigm of culture and inclusion and builds the case that they are pivotal elements in achieving sustainability and how Smart City technologies can be used to enable their better integration. © 2023, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
