Abstract

Big cities have noticeable problems resulting from poor management of urban services. Monitoring a city gives some parameters to evaluate the performance of urban services, allowing to identify their flaws, and elaborate strategic plains to correct them. Smart cities architectures are intended to propose Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) solutions to increase service efectiveness. Considering that to establish a ICT infrastructure to support a smart city architecture is very expensive, once you have got the data and you know what urban service you will attend to, you can use a city simulator to test how the architecture will behave when facing the city’s problems. In this context we propose the Synaptic City architecture, together with a city simulator, with which we modeled a Brazilian city, Recife, Pernambuco, in order to discuss its main problems.
