Resumen
LINARES-GARCIA, Johana y VASQUEZ-SANTOS, Karen. Smart Cities: Are They the Materialization of Sustainability or an Economic Strategy of the Neoliberal Model?. Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.2, pp.479-495. ISSN 1657-8031. https://doi.org/10.21500/16578031.3134.
The demographic growth in the 21st century cities and its pressure on the physical environment have led to the inclusion of technology to achieve the desired sustainable development from the so-called smart cities. However, a question arises: is this the way to achieve sustainability or is it a market strategy proposed by the neoliberal model that seeks to increase the demand for technology? In conclusion, smart cities are highlighted as an option, which capitalism to promote technological consumption, the increase in living costs, and the inevitable real estate speculation.
