Abstract

Smart cities are cities that aim to develop the quality of life of their citizens, with the use of technology. More and more often, projects are built to give more smartness to cities. These projects involve various types of decision making by managers. These decisions may be influenced by factors such as colonialism and the sociotechnical imaginary. This research in progress seeks to answer how do the smart cities of Brazil and Colombia choose to adopt smart city solutions? This study will be developed as a multiple case study on SC initiatives in these countries. In-depth interviews will be conducted with the actors involved in the projects and the documents of the smart cities will be analyzed. By achieving the objectives expected by this research, it is intended to encourage the adoption of assertive solutions and provoke reflection on the choice of best practices for the SCs.
