Abstract

This research aimed to highlight the main concepts related to the context of smart cities and how they intersect with aspects of the right to the city, placing the citizen at the forefront of this discussion. In this approach, the goal was to examine these concepts in light of the paradigmatic evolution of public administration, especially regarding the characteristics of governance models and public value. To achieve this, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted to integrate previous studies on the topic and expand the research field. As a result, it was identified that research streams encompass themes related to public governance, digital and social inclusion, citizen participation, regulation, and mobility, broadening the discussion on the role of information and communication technologies as a means of citizen engagement and expanding dialogue with the government, distancing this approach from a data-focused and essentially economic models view. As a contribution, a conceptual framework summarizing the aspects identified in the SLR was proposed, along with a research agenda based on critiques from selected articles on the topic.
