Abstract

Cities Cities are branded as inclusive, but does this label reflect a genuine commitment to social justice or is it merely a city branding strategy? This scoping review (PRISMA-ScR) deconstructs the concept of the “inclusive city” through a triple dimension: theoretical-conceptual, practical (market), and technological (Generative Artificial Intelligence). Our findings reveal a fundamental discrepancy: the theoretical model of the inclusive city is incompatible with the logic of city branding and the algorithmic representation of the inclusive city. Urban marketing creates a hierarchy of marketable diversities, leading to diversity-washing. Simultaneously, Generative AI amplifies this vision, producing an aseptic and depoliticised iconography of inclusion with homogeneous spaces, artificial diversity, and a complete absence of conflict, community, and authenticity. We conclude that "algorithmic inclusivity" prioritises a market-driven vision, commodifying diversity and perpetuating a segregationist view under a facade of inclusion, which demands urgent critique and regulation.
