In the 21st century, the rapid emergence of urbanization has given rise to significant challenges in resource management, environmental sustainability, and quality of life in cities. The objective of the research was to identify visions of the urban future based on publications responding to Smart Cities, which have emerged as a promising solution supported by technological advancements. This systematic literature review was based on the PRISMA 2020 method, allowing for a better structure of scientific articles published between 2019 and 2023 in both English and Spanish, using criteria of quality and relevance. The results of the systematic literature review identified a steady growth in academic interest in smart cities, with a notable increase in publications from 2019 to 2021. Europe was determined to be the leader in literature production on the topic, followed by Latin America and Asia, reflecting a global interest in the development of smart cities. Thematic focuses identified in the studies include Sustainable Development and Environment as the predominant theme, emphasizing the importance of balancing efficiency and quality of life with environmental protection. Technology and Innovation are crucial for improving urban efficiency, while citizen participation, effective urban planning, and education are essential for fostering greater environmental awareness.
