Abstract	Active citizen participation in urban decision-making processes has proven to be of great value for better aligning population needs with urban planning proposals. However, in many cases, citizens frequently fail to actively participate in these planning processes. The emergence on the political agenda of the Sustainable Development Goals, in particular “Objective 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities,” offers urban planners the opportunity to reflect upon current strategies and tools to achieve more participatory and inclusive processes. In order to take a step forward in this direction, this chapter studies the potential of five location-based social networks—Twitter, Instagram, Foursquare, Strava, and MapMyRun—to inform and improve urban planning processes. Within the context of smart cities, the main objective of this work is to present the advantages of incorporating the user-generated information offered by these sources into decision-making processes to encourage smarter, participatory, and inclusive urban planning and management. © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
