The Digital twin city (Dtc) concept has gained prominence since 2017, evolving alongside smart city innovations. Unlike conventional 3D models, Dtc integrate real-time sensor data, simulations, and multidimensional analyses to inform urban design and planning and decision-making. This paper critically examines the participatory potential of Dtc by analysing their role in urban governance, co-programming, and co-design. While Dtc offer enhanced data acquisition, socio-economic integration, and a bridge between digital and physical urban realms, their effectiveness in fostering inclusive participation remains debatable. Through an exploratory qualitative approach, based on a comparative documentary analysis of three case studies (Zurich, Herrenberg, and Singapore) this study explores the extent to which Dtc facilitate citizen engagement, democratization of urban decision-making, and transparency in design and planning. The findings highlight both the transformative potential and the inherent challenges of Dtc, such as data privacy concerns, digital divides, and institutional resistance.
