This book explains how to build digital twin metaverse cities aimed to accelerate urban digital transformation through emerging technologies. Why do we need to live in a smart city? The book presents a novel architectural design of digital twin metaverse cities and the digital twinning process. Let's dive into emerging technologies as building blocks to construct smart cities. We introduce the transformative concept of metaverse digital twins, bridging the digital-­physical divide with advanced ICTs like IoT, 5G, and AI.

Rapid urbanization causes compelling city problems worldwide, such as housing, traffic, schooling, healthcare, employment, and pollution. Numerous smart-city scholars and practitioners have attempted to tackle these problems but lack an integrated approach and practical implementation tools to solve them. In this book, we will build digital metaverse cities using emerging technologies. This approach begins by identifying a problem statement, designing a novel digital twin metaverse architecture, reviewing emerging technologies as building blocks and showcasing interesting applications. The book delves into the world of emerging technologies such as 5G, IoT, AI, robotics, AR/VR, 3D printing, blockchain, digital platform, cybersecurity, etc. (total 13). These are not just isolated technologies but the integral building blocks of our smart digital twin metaverse cities. And each plays a unique role in creating a seamless, interconnected urban ecosystem, transforming how we live, work, and interact for better lives in the smart cities.

Moreover, we will review state-of-the-art digital twin metaverse development tools and present readers with interesting engineering prototypes of my proposed digital twin smart cities. Finally, we will discover how to avoid some management pitfalls during the construction of innovative smart cities, including project management, change management, leadership skills, and modern management information systems, providing a bonus for our readers.
