Resumen

The 2030 Agenda is a clear development milestone for humanity in its ambition to care forour future generations. Smart Cities play an essential role in this development, the developmentdirection of which is based, among others factors, on the fulfilment of the criteria set by the variousSustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The purpose of the current research is to verify the currentstate of science concerning the development of the SDGs in Smart Cities to establish a theoreticalframework for the development and integration of data specific to a Smart City to participate inhomogeneous monitoring of these indicators and to compare with other Smart Cities. Once a robustbibliographic study has been carried out, we proceed to establish a theoretical study, the applicationmethodology of which follows a process developed in various phases to obtain an integrated systemfor monitoring and linking of the development of Smart Cities according to the criteria set out inthe applicable SDGs. The clear implication is establishing an objective and efficient process thatcovers collection to integrate and compare the obtained data. One of the limitations of this processis overcoming the technological barrier in specific less developed environments that may not havesufficient funding. With respect to future lines of research, the current study opens the door tostudying the implications of this type of process on the management and elaboration of specificpublic policies, for example, concerning the time taken to establish and resolve them.
