The Ministry of Cities will create a Working Group, coordinated by the National Secretariat for Accessibility and Urban Programs (SNAPU), to consolidate the issue of smart cities in the agency's public policies. The information was provided by the director of the Department of Accessibility Policies and Urban Planning, Ana Paula Bruno, when presenting the Ministry's actions at the Smart City Business Congress & Expo, which brought together in Curitiba (PR), representatives from different countries, CEOs of large and small technology companies, public managers, entrepreneurs and specialists in innovative solutions to improve the quality of life in cities. The event had institutional support from ABES.
"The proposal is to incorporate the smart cities approach in public policies already developed by the Ministry of Cities, in order to make them more efficient and contribute to the solution of historical problems in our cities", he explained.
From the debates on the subject, the challenge of finding partners, connecting them in a network, and enhancing their vocations emerged, since it is very important to explore the qualities of information and communication technology APLs. According to the Brazilian Agency for Industrial Development (ABDI), an agency linked to the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade, in Brazil there are already 31 information technology APLs.
Society has demanded from government officials more quality of life and transparency in public administration. To meet this demand, the use of technology is essential, as it establishes a direct and dynamic interaction with the population, in addition to providing real-time transparency for the actions of government officials. This debate aims to point out some of the numerous business opportunities in the current and future "smart cities" market, whose impact could exceed U$ 1 trillion in the world.

In addition to discussions on land use legislation and public-private partnerships (PPPs) to surveillance devices and autonomous systems. More than 150 speakers debated the future of cities through the use of technology with cases of solutions to structural problems in cities.
