Abstract: Studying current trends and opportunities in geospatial technologies for Smart cities helps city planners and administrators understand technology advancements and aids in better implementation practice. Similarly, understanding future research directions enables researchers and policymakers to harness these technologies fully and anticipate upcoming developments. Overall, this approach supports the creation of more livable, sustainable, and equitable cities for all. This chapter explores the current trends, emerging opportunities, and future research directions. Geospatial AI is supported by several cutting- edge technologies such as IoT, digital twins, and 3D/4D urban modeling. Future geospatial research should use advanced AI models, real- time analytics, and privacy- preserving technologies. Understanding the technologies' ethical and inclusive implementation is essential to support long- term urban sustainability and citizen well- being. Such Smart cities can ensure more sustainable, resilient, and equitable urban environments for future generations.
