Concentration of population in urban centers
is a global problem for which different strategies in
order to organize different processes in cities and improve
the quality of life are required. The creation of
smart communities is shown as a sustainable solution
since they deal with various key aspects, such as traffc
management and mobility, through the use of information
technologies (ITs). This work presents a review of
recent studies using information technologies for urban
analysis and mobility in cities. A descriptive analysis
of automated methods for collecting and analyzing citizens’
mobility patterns is performed; it is centered in
smart card use, geolocation and geotagging. It is concluded
that a robust communication infrastructure, supported
by an effcient computational platform allowing
big data management and ubiquitous computing, is a
crucial aspect for urban management in a smart community.
