Qualitative, Bibliometric Study. The articles were analyzed from these periods, based on the systematic review of the literature. We selected the papers with the expression "smart cit *" in the title or on the set of keywords, with temporal limitation from the first study, in 1999, until 2017; document type “article”, source type “journal”. The search for data to achieve the objectives was carried out from the survey of thematic articles, via Scopus databases. After this selection, 162 articles were identified that were read integrally for the analysis categories.

As the main results identified in the majority of the articles: the top publisher was University of Leeds (UK); Methodologic Approach was Quantitative; Research Type was Case Study; Research Nature was Descriptive; Data Collect Instrument was Questionnaire; Object of Analysis was Organizations, Politics or Systems Conte and Subjects was Innovation and Information Technology.

From the articles analyzed, it is possible to note that emerging countries as a whole still remain far from policies and practices for the development of smarter cities, with the protagonism of public and private entities and universities. Factors such as large income and gentrification, resulting in significant social inequality; lack of basic infrastructure in many regions and the lack of a culture of belonging to the public seem to fortify walls to the best practices of governance and quality of life.
