Abstract The emergence of new technologies, such as information and communication technologies and the Internet of Things, is making cities more digital and intelligent as we move into the fourth industrial revolution. The smart sustainable cities (SSCs) concept is human-centered, involving the multidimensional integration of people and digitization, predicting the future development of global cities. However, the concept might not apply to all cities around the world. In this paper, a quantitative bibliometric analysis of 4643 published articles on smart cities (SCs) and other related research is conducted, and aims to develop a framework with multiple dimensions to help improve the understanding of the concept applicability. The main finding reveals that four pillars, namely environment, society, governance, and economy, are integrated into the framework to improve the understanding of the concept capability. This framework can allow urban planners and policymakers to assess the effectiveness of the concept in their practice projects. © 2024 The Authors
