LA ENCRUCIJADA ENTRE EL DERECHO A LA CIUDAD Y LAS SMART CITIES: EL ESTADO DEL DEBATE EN LAS CIENCIAS SOCIALES.

Amidst the growing debate on the use of technologies and data in urban management, it is essential to examine the role of the Right to the City within this discourse. The concept of the Right to the Smart City presents a challenge in contemporary urbanization, where it is crucial to identify who benefits from technologies and data, as well as how these resources integrate into society as a whole. This article reviews the corpus of research on the concepts of Smart City and Right to the City within the field of Social Sciences, drawing on bibliographic data from the Scopus database, between the years 2010 and until the year 2023, with a search system based on keywords in English. The aim is to analyze the connections between these theoretical frameworks and their intersections with other research topics. The results, analyzed using VOSviewer software, reveal maps and graphs indicating that contributions linking Smart City and the Right to the City are concentrated among a limited group of researchers, primarily based in the United States and Europe. Although these studies emphasize the necessity of a citizen-centered approach, they also highlight that global Smart City initiatives often overlook the Right to the City, reinforcing a dominant vision aligned with capital accumulation.
