Abstract:

The Smart City concept incorporates ICT to improve its basic services, and the quality life for its inhabitants. In this regard, digital cities, play a differential role in territorial development and competitiveness, guaranteeing lower unemployment rates, closing gaps in the education system, environmental protection, cultural multiplicity, urban planning, public management, mobility and transport. With this research, we sought to perform a documentary analysis aimed at the digital transformations of cities around sustainability, efficiency and quality of life. For this, relied on the collection of secondary sources from a technological surveillance process, which allowed analyzing relevant information in specialized and governmental databases in Spain, Mexico and Latin America, in order to generate a report on the Smart Cities and it sustainable environments.
