ABSTRACT
Smart Cities theme has evolved in the last years, leading the cities to implement initiatives related to technical aspects to improve quality of life. Another focus on this theme is how to measure the added value of these initiatives to the population. The Brazilian Network of Smart and Human Cities (RBCIH) was created in order to join both approaches in Brazil, putting together members from academy, private initiative and local (municipality) government. Nowadays, RBCIH is composed by 350 Brazilian cities (in a universe of 5570 cities), indicating that a long-term work has to be executed by RBCIH in Brazil. Two purposes of RBCIH are presenting good practices and evaluating how smart and human a city is. In this work, a methodology is presented for constructing a Brazilian reference model and an evaluation method for smart cities, adherent to the Brazilian reality.
