A smart city places people at the centre of development and incorporates ICTs into urban management as a response to problems such as pollution, insecurity, and congestion. Developed countries focus on improving the quality of life of their inhabitants and work on making cities intelligent, inclusive, and sustainable spaces. In academia, the term "smart city" has been gaining interest, as shown by a review of Clarivate's WoS database, which shows 9 records for 2011 rising to 950 records in 2019. The search results showed a sample of 2833 documents in the period from 2001 - 2019. As an area of knowledge in development, it is relevant to know the trends that frame its evolution. The proposed analysis is based on the postulates of bibliometrics and scientometrics, which through the co-occurrence of data and the strength of links between components of a network, infers related bodies of knowledge in an objective manner, recognizing hot topics, declining themes, relevant publications, among others. The VOSviewer software was used as an information processing tool, which is a open source software that provides the construction and visualization of knowledge networks, which facilitates their exploration. In this study one can see that the knowledge area is focused on 3 themes: 1) Development of cities based on innovation and sustainability, 2) design and administration of cities by means of Internet and the Internet of Things as well as 3) frameworks based on bigdata aimed at governance. These results guide researchers interested in broadening the horizons of this theme and in seeking new paradigms related to the Smart city.
