The necessity for substantial societal transformations to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has become more urgent, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper examines the critical role of disruptive technologies, specifically Industry 5.0 and Society 5.0, in driving sustainable development. Our research investigation focuses on their impact on product development, healthcare innovation, pandemic response, and the development of nature-inclusive business models and smart cities. We analyze how these technologies influence SDGs 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), 4 (Quality Education), 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), and 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). By integrating these concepts into smart cities, we propose a coordinated framework to enhance the achievement of these goals. Additionally, we provide a SWOT analysis to evaluate this approach. This study aims to guide industrialists, policymakers, and researchers in leveraging technological advancements to meet the SDGs.
