Abstract

The urban population growth has caused an increase of infrastructure systems’ complexity and consequences of human activity to the environment. Therefore, it is essential that sustainability concepts are implemented in urban development. This paper presents a study of how City Information Modeling (CIM) can contribute to improve public services and the quality of life of citizens. In order to reach these goals, the authors analyzed the International Standard ISO 37120 (Sustainable development of communities – Indicators for city services and quality of life) and evaluated how data from Building Information Modeling (BIM) and CIM can be used to obtain data for the indicators of the ISO. The study concludes that BIM and CIM models can provide data for 53 of 100 existing indicators in a simpler and more accurate way. This approach can assist the city’s managers to take assertive decisions and contribute to improve the evaluation of public services performance.
