It evaluates conventional turbine designs and emerging technologies such as vortex-induced vibration harvesters and flow-concentrator devices, assessing their suitability for urban conditions. The methodology involves wind tunnel testing, numerical simulations, and in situ measurements to characterize wind behavior affected by turbulence, gusts, boundary-layer development, and urban morphology. Site-selection criteria include local wind resource levels, surface roughness, building geometry, and regulatory constraints. Results show that efficiency depends strongly on installation location, with significant gains in elevated positions and setups that exploit flow acceleration or channeling. Emerging technologies offer promising solutions to traditional challenges related to noise, structural vibrations, and maintenance.   Este trabajo evalúa las condiciones necesarias para el emplazamiento de sistemas de generación eólica urbana de baja potencia, considerando su desempeño aerodinámico y su integración en entornos urbanos. Se analizan aerogeneradores convencionales y tecnologías emergentes como las basadas en vibraciones inducidas por vórtices y encauzadores de flujo y su adecuación al contexto urbano. La metodología incluye la necesidad de estudios experimentales, simulaciones numéricas y análisis in situ sobre el comportamiento del viento afectado por turbulencia, ráfagas, efectos de capa límite y geometría urbana. Se sintetizan criterios para la selección de emplazamientos, considerando el recurso eólico, la rugosidad superficial, la morfología edilicia y las restricciones normativas. Los resultados muestran que la eficiencia depende críticamente de la ubicación, con mejoras significativas en zonas elevadas y configuraciones que aprovechan el encauzamiento del flujo. Las tecnologías emergentes evidencian alto potencial para superar limitaciones tradicionales en ruido, vibraciones y mantenimiento.
