Resum:
The city as a legal institution and as a space for the development of the person, family, education, commerce, among other social phenomena, has always been in constant evolution. We have traveled from the Greek polis to the medieval city now in the development and implementation of smart cities a new model of city characterized by the use of information technologies and communication as a means of transforming relations between the State and citizens, but which cannot leave behind culture as a necessary element of people's lives. In this paper we will review the role of culture and cultural heritage in the development and construction of smart cities as well as the Spanish legal framework which facilitates or promotes their incorporation into the new organizational models that have been launched.
