However, the rapid digitalization of urban spaces raises significant challenges, including digital inequality, data privacy concerns, environmental sustainability issues, and the exclusion of vulnerable populations. This paper explores the pivotal role of smart cities in fostering the digital economy while addressing the critical digital technolgies’ challenges. Through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), this novel study identifies these pressing challenges and maps them to the broader dimensions of inclusivity, human-centric development, and sustainability. Furthermore, it provides a strategic roadmap for governments, businesses, private-sector partnerships, and civil societies, emphasizing the importance of equitable access, ethical governance, and sustainable urban planning. By addressing these challenges, smart cities can evolve into inclusive, human-centered ecosystems that drive sustainable growth in the digital economy.34Smart Cities in the Digital Age: A Roadmap for Ethical, Inclusive and Sustainable
