Abstract Among the different topics related to sustainability, developing smart cities became a priority for several countries as far as the aim of those countries is to shift towards sustainability and to improve the quality of human lives. These countries experience internal and external migration from those regions where people are seeking better quality of life, smart services and solutions, better environment and better business activities. However, the research on smart cities and migration is still in its early stage. According to the Web of Science (WOS) and Scopus databases, only 77 papers were published between 2000 and 2019, but it is expected that this field becomes a relevant research topic given the social and economic relevance of both phenomena. The purpose of this paper is to provide a bibliometric review on papers that discuss about the links between smart cities and migration, aiming to determine the evolution of research on this topic. The results confirm the novelty of this research line. The most discussed topics reveal the relevance of planning for smart cities, city development and infrastructure projects, and educated workers migration. Future studies should address how to encourage sustainability and the role of governments in providing sustainable practices. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
