Nowadays, the sustainable performance of cities has become increasingly crucial, especially for urban regeneration. Also, with the rise of approaches such as smart city, it has become more critical to understand the integration of both concepts for better urban development. The present study explores incorporating both concepts under urban regeneration to target critical urban areas such as residential neighborhoods. For this, the research adapts and proposes a Balance Score Card (BSC) that can be implemented as an assessment tool by which the problem described can be targeted. To achieve this goal first, an extensive literature review is performed to define the integration of smartness and sustainability for city development and define the principals of Smart Sustainable Urban Regeneration (SSUR). After this stage it proceed by developing a BSC following the next steps: define the BSC architecture for SSUR; establish the perspectives and strategic objectives based on SSUR; identify possible indicators through the analysis of assessment frameworks related to sustainable and smart development; evaluate the findings through consultation with Korean and Latin American experts, and finally structuring the final BSCs SSUR for residential areas. This dissertation concludes that BSC can have a positive impact on the definition of the objectives strategies and the measure of the impact of a residential area regeneration project. Particularly, it can assist as a viable tool that helps to integrate the smart and sustainable approach in the field of urban regeneration, helping leaders and other stakeholders to have a clear understanding of the decisions to be taken and the resources needed to achieve the targets, at the same time that helps to clear the different needs between contexts.
