As smart cities e sua aplicação: estudo preliminar sobre a mobilidade urbana de São Luís

Abstract

In the face of the disorderly growth of cities, misfortunes such as irregular occupations far from the centers, with little access to quality infrastructure, a lack of public transport and constant traffic congestion on major road corridors, hamper the functioning of urban space and transform cities into places saturated and monotonous. Alternative solutions, which use technology as a key element for urban progress, have been studied and inserted as a means of quick and cost-effective resolution. These are concepts derived from the so-called Smart Cities, which aim to provide quality to users and cities in the social, cultural and economic sectors, with a focus on sustainability. Thus, the proposal to study the concept and implementation of efficient alternatives related to Intelligent Cities is of great relevance and can help to reverse this troubled situation that are found in thousands of people in different parts of the world. This work also proposes a study on the process of adaptation and transformation of the city of São Luís, Maranhão, into a Smart City, having as its main theme urban mobility.
