“…On the other hand, some publications align the concepts listed with the Sustainable Development Goals (Antolin et al, 2020;Corsi et al 2022;Clement et al, 2023;Karal & Soyer, 2023) from the perspective that these have objectives and measurable goals, which can facilitate the assessment of the real stage of development in relation to intelligence and sustainability.…”

“…new policies must be implemented to promote economic and social development, improving citizens' quality of life, taking care of the environment and optimizing the use of natural resources. Antolin et al (2020) state that in today's technology-based society, the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) can and should play a fundamental role in improving sustainability in cities.In the view ofCorsi et al (2022) the sustainable city model must present sustainable actions to promote more efficient and sustainable urban services and infrastructure and along these lines, smart technologies can be implemented as facilitators, resulting in benefits for the tripod of sustainable economic social environmental development.To face growing global socioeconomic and environmental challenges and ensure better and more sustainable paths for future generations, the United Nations (2015, online) launched the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDG that refers to the theme of Sustainable Cities and Communities is SDG 11: "Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe,resilient and sustainable" (United Nations, 2015, online).…”

Objective: Establish a descriptive correlation between different concepts of Smart and Sustainable Cities, in terms of theoretical and empirical foundations and assumptions. Method: The analysis is mixed, using a Systematic Literature Review and the PSALSAR methodology - Protocol, Search, Appraisal, Syntesis, Analysis and Results. The searches were carried out on four international scientific databases and one national database, with an interdisciplinary focus, involving the areas of Social Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Computer Sciences, Engineering and Energy. Research Significance: The idea of making cities smart and sustainable arises from looking for solutions in the places where the majority of the population is concentrated, along with the opportunities and threats to provide sustainable development. However, the concepts and structures relating to these cities are unclear, and there is still divergent discussion about which technologies have a positive impact on society and what their effects are on the sustainability of the planet. Results and Discussion: The approaches and discourses are aligned with the concept of sustainable development, but implementation in practice depends on government policies. Several counterpoints were found in the discourses analysed, including the fact that smart cities are not necessarily sustainable, and even in cities labelled as smart and sustainable, the lack of an environmental focus was highlighted.

“…With the widespread and massive use of Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) in organizations and cities, Smart Sustainable Cities emerge in a context where Big Data, E-government, and the Internet of Things (IoT) are crucial in urban management, smart governance, and policy-making (Bibri & Krogstie, 2017;Macke et al, 2018;Macke et al, 2019;Michelam et al, 2020;Beck & Conti, 2021;Corsi et al, 2022;Freire et al, 2022). In this context, stakeholders' expectations, stakeholder impact, and stakeholder activities are crucial elements in managing stakeholder-oriented Smart Sustainable Cities (Ibrahim et al, 2017;Carvalho et al, 2021).…”

Purpose: To explore citizens’ satisfaction with all Bus Terminuses (BTs) in São Paulo City, Brazil. Method: This study performed a Sentiment Analysis of citizens' perception of 32 BTs of São Paulo, composed of 8,371 user comments on Google Maps. Originality/Relevance: This study highlights the role of Sentiment Analysis as an optimal tool for Stakeholder Analysis in the Urban Context. Findings: First, Sentiment Analysis is a valuable source for stakeholder-oriented urban management. Second, sentiment Analysis provides detailed information about citizen satisfaction, providing valuable cues for urban managers to improve public service quality. Third, Smart Sustainable Cities can provide multiple and massive quantities of data that all kinds of urban stakeholders can use in decision-making processes, which helps perform Sentiment Analysis. Fourth, Sentiment Analysis is helpful for BT managers to improve BT services based on the users' feelings. Finally, further studies should explore sentiment classification in Sentiment Analysis of the critical aspects unfolded in this study as well as for exploring responsiveness of municipal public services. Methodological Contributions: This study demonstrated that Sentiment Analysis can be a method for scrutinizing stakeholders' opinions and perceptions about governmental services at the city level. Practitioner Contributions: Urban Planners, Transportation Policy Makers, and Urban Managers can use Sentiment Analysis to foster stakeholder-oriented management, which in turn fosters democracy and urban performance.

“…As a result of these factors, there has been an increase, by society, in demands for improvements in infrastructure and local government services (Li et al, 2019), which affects the capacity of towns and cities to adapt to and mitigate climate change (Corsi et al, 2022).…”

Introdução: O advento das mudanças climáticas apresenta novos desafios para as cidades, tornando necessário o desenvolvimento de políticas estratégicas para reduzir os impactos e melhorar a adaptação aos eventos extremos. Objetivo: Apresentar o conceito de vulnerabilidade urbana e as medidas adotadas nas cidades para a redução dos riscos hidrometeorológicos e adaptação às mudanças climáticas. Metodologia: Realizou-se uma revisão sistemática da literatura presente nas bases de dados Science Direct e Scielo entre o período de 2011 a 2021, sendo possível apresentar a evolução do conceito de “vulnerabilidade urbana”. Originalidade/Relevância: A vulnerabilidade urbana passa a ser tópico-chave na avaliação das mudanças climáticas atualmente e estudos sobre o tema devem ser fortalecidos. Além da necessidade da identificação das conexões entre a adaptação às mudanças climáticas e os esforços para promover soluções para a redução de risco de desastres (RRD). Resultados: Notou-se uma evolução do termo “vulnerabilidade urbana”, aplicado nos diversos artigos como variável importante na equação para a redução do risco de desastres. Em 2020 ficou evidenciado o avanço dos estudos relacionando a vulnerabilidade urbana com adaptações ao clima, novas propostas para a avaliação e métodos utilizados ao nível local (cidades). Contribuições sociais / para a gestão: A RRD frente às mudanças climáticas se torna emergencial na atualidade, a fim de se preservar vidas humanas e bens materiais, já que muitas das nossas cidades se expandiram para áreas suscetíveis aos eventos extremos, sendo a compreensão dos possíveis riscos de desastres hidrometeorológicos crucial para o planejamento urbano.
