Smart cities: practices and indicators adopted in Brazil
Cidades inteligentes: práticas e e indicadores adotados no Brasil
Palavras-chave:
Smart Cities, Performance Indicators, SustainabilityResumo
Rapid urban growth, with an increasing number of people moving to urban areas, demands effective strategies to address the resulting challenges, including issues related to transportation, housing, infrastructure, and quality of life. Evaluating the performance of these cities is crucial to understand how the measures they implement directly impact the well-being of their residents. Therefore, the main goal of this study was to examine specific practices related to performance and sustainability indicators used in smart cities in different regions of Brazil. To do so, the methodology involved the selection of a diverse group of cities from various regions of Brazil, the definition of a set of performance and sustainability indicators, and the collection of relevant data and information related to these indicators. Through this analysis, it was possible to identify best practices employed by cities that excelled in terms of performance and sustainability indicators. Lastly, areas in need of improvement were identified, and recommendations were formulated based on these findings.
