Smart City Scenarios for Brazil

June 14, 2023 | 8:30 AM |

PRESENTATION IS ATTACHED. RECORDING IS AVAILABLE HERE.

The webinar will share the key findings from a report (attached), "Insights about Smart Cities in Brazil for policy makers and public managers: Leveraging technologies for sustainable development", conducted by Deloitte and commissioned by NEC Latin America. The report presents different scenarios of smart cities that emerge from the Brazilian context, comparing local initiatives with global references and exploring projects from Brazil and Latin America, regulatory and technological trends related to smart cities, existing public policies, and main barriers for implementation. Based on qualitative interviews with specialists and key stakeholders in Brazil, the report provides recommendations to improve the existing policies and a set of coordinated actions to leverage technologies to address urban challenges and improve efficiency. 

Following the presentation of the report, the team leading the Rio de Janeiro Smart, Green and Resilient Urban Mobility project (P178729), which is supported by the Global Smart City Partnership Program (GSCP), will discuss the report findings and share insights on key challenges, lessons and recommendations from the perspective of the project design and implementation.
