Metabolismo urbano: uma abordagem para o desenvolvimento sustentável nas cidades inteligentes

Abstract

Throughout the urbanization process, occurred in recent decades, it is observed an intense transformation of material and energy flows in products, services and waste. To support the analysis of these flows, field of study of Urban Metabolism (UM), the theme Smart Cities play an important role, since, from the data collection made possible by the infrastructure of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), the compilation of data from metabolic flows is processed quickly, allowing containment actions in order to minimize the negative impacts of human activities towards sustainability. The objective of this endofcourse work is to better understand how Urban Metabolism associated with ICTs can collaborate in the Sustainable Development of Smart Cities. To achieve this goal, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted following the protocols established by Methodi Ordiantio. The results show the countries, research centers and journals that deal with the theme aligned with the scope of this work. It was also verified the change in the concept of MU with the use of technologies such as sensors, Internet of things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) promoting SD. Improvements were also identified in relation to accessibility, regulation, ethics, and a solution oriented focus on societal problems in the use of technologies. Thus, this study contributes to better understand about Smart City and Urban Metabolism, expanding the concepts and approaches related to these themes.
