The aim of this article is to examine this approach in the city of Tehran. Therefore, after reviewing the global literature in the selected field, the dimensions and components of the right to the smart city, considering the current conditions of Tehran from the perspective of researchers (in the two areas of the right to the city and the smart city), have been derived using the constructivist paradigm and qualitative content analysis. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data, and the information obtained was coded, categorized, and then the main and sub-concepts representing the conceptual framework of the right to the smart city in Tehran were formulated based on semantic similarities. Subsequently, the Tehran Smart City Plan (2021), two comprehensive plan documents (2007), and the Fourth Plan for the Development and Progress of Tehran City (2022) were examined through qualitative content analysis to identify the extent of their emphasis on the dimensions of the right to the smart city. According to the results obtained from the documents, the greatest attention has been paid to the right to smart infrastructure and the least attention to the right to smart governance. Furthermore, the model of the right to the smart city in Tehran consists of the following dimensions in order of priority: the right to smart security, the right to data, the right to technology, the right to people, the right to mobility, the right to life, the right to governance, the right to infrastructure, the right to services, the right to smart economy, and the right to smart environment.
