GOVERNANCE FOR RESILIENCE: CONCEPTION OF A SMART CITY CELL
governance; urban resilience; smart cities, prototyping
This dissertation seeks to examine guidelines and strategies to guide the implemen-tation of a prototype cell of a smart city, in the Innovation, Sustainability and Built Environment Park of PISAC/PCTec/UnB. It is argued that an environment for testing and demonstrating urban solutions and innovations contributes to strengthening governance, resilience and urban sustainability. This is a relevant scenario, since innovative solutions can be identified, tested and implemented locally, being im-portant at the city scale, where the results obtained can be replicated in several segments of urban innovations so that they contribute to the development smart cit-ies. In addition, the cell can leverage new practices in external government relations, such as partnerships between public and private agencies and universities, to im-plement practices of agreements, services and smart urban solutions. The founda-tions of the work consider the state of the art of the term urban governance, as well as the different applicability on the subject, presenting a series of definitions that have emerged in recent years and characterizing the concept as one of the keys to the implementation of smart cities.
