With the integration of technology and data-driven decision-making, the voices, opinions, and needs of citizens become more prominent than ever before. As active participants, citizens contribute to the creation of a more sustainable, resilient, and responsive city by engaging in urban planning, participating in public consultations, and providing feedback on services and infrastructure. This empowered citizenship fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility, enabling citizens to collaborate with urban authorities to enhance quality of life and turn smart cities into true reflections of collective vision. The present study aims to further explore the concept of cultural citizenship and the existing studies in this field, and to propose a comprehensive model for assessing the level of cultural citizenship using the structural equation modeling (SEM) approach. The statistical population of this study includes all urban management experts in Tehran. To collect research data, a questionnaire consisting of 49 items on a five-point Likert scale was used. The results of the model implementation indicated that the variables of multicultural citizenship, name-based citizenship, and educated citizenship had the most significant roles in explaining variations in cultural citizenship, and the research model was able to account for over 99% of these variations.</p> https://www.journaldtai.com/index.php/jdtai/article/download/90/86
