Urban development has become increasingly complex due to rapid population growth and the demand for sustainable practices. Implementing smart city solutions offers a potential approach to address these challenges. This study advances the understanding of the smart city concept, its essential elements, and its specific applicability within the Mexican context. We define smart cities by distinguishing them from sustainable cities, and We explore the most common frameworks created by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and the International Standardization Organization (ISO). We review the Mexican standards (NMX) for smart cities. Additionally, we analyze different smart city approaches, and the roles of stakeholders involved in planning and implementing these initiatives. Based on this analysis, we outline adaptable frameworks for potential application in Mexican cities, identifying priority areas and criteria for selecting and prioritizing key performance indicators (KPIs) like technology use, energy efficiency, and social inclusion. This work lays a preliminary foundation for practical approaches to smart city development, offering a framework that supports informed decision-making and structured evaluation of progress toward urban intelligence.
