Abstract

Smart cities emerge as a viable solution for the design and management of urban centers increasingly concerned with issues related to improving sustainability and resilience. The chapter seeks to enrich discussions on the subject of smart cities by carrying out a systematic review of the literature on the importance of enabling technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution for the formulation of public policies for smart cities. On the occasion, issues related to the advancement of enabling technologies for Industry 4.0 in Brazil and how these technologies are understood, from the point of view of their importance, by public agents responsible for formulating public policies for smart cities in the country, were addressed. As a result of the investigation, it became clear that, in the case of emerging countries, such as Brazil, the definition of objectives and approaches for the solution of urban problems that can be addressed through public policies based on technologies for smart cities must, above all, take into account the various human and environmental factors inherent to society, whose demands are intended to be met. In addition, the conscious action of public agents, mainly in the political sphere, can eventually contribute to the failure to conduct projects categorized in the literature as smart-washed cities.
