Abstract Growing urbanization and social challenges require innovative solutions to improve urban sustainability. Smart cities can achieve a refined and efficient allocation of resources, which is conducive to intelligent governance and production activities and promotes the realization of sustainable development goals. This paper selects the literature related to smart cities’ sustainable development in the Web of Science database and conducts a systematic literature review using bibliometrics in order to provide a comprehensive assessment of this field. The results of this paper are visualizations of regional cooperation patterns, domain co-citations, and strongest citation bursts. The bibliometric analysis concludes: (1) Smart cities’ sustainable development has entered a stable development stage after a certain period of literature surge. (2) Countries with different development levels continue to cooperate closely, among which countries with close political relations have more cooperative outputs. (3) The research hotspots of smart cities’ sustainable development mainly focus on environment, policy, business, and network sustainability. (4) Intelligent transportation, intelligent energy, and environment sustainability will be the research focus of future intelligent cities to achieve sustainable development.
