COMPARATIVE ANALYZES OF TECHNOLOGICAL TOOLS BETWEEN INDUSTRY 4.0 AND SMART CITIES APPROACHES: THE NEW SOCIETY ECOSYSTEM

Today the growth of modern cities is unprecedented in the history of urbanization and the urban environmental problems have also been increased. Unfortunately, we do not have much time to correct past failures, improve the status quo and ensure the protection of environment. Consequently, developing sustainable urban planning is important and its role in urban management issues is an objective that requires new approaches. On the other hand, Industry 4.0 (I. 4.0), also called the 4th Industrial Revolution, carries impacts in the production in companies, as well as in the economy and society, with disruptive character, creating new markets and destabilizing the traditional way of doing business. Once I. 4.0 is a strategic approach to the integration of advanced control systems with internet technology, enabling communication between people, products and complex systems, it is expected to follow the same in the Smart Cities development. This article aims to relate technological tools of I. 4.0 and the dimensions of "Smart Cities", based on an analytical framework for better understanding the emergence of new society ecosystem focused on the redefinition of the concept of cities, urbanism and way of life, motivated by this new reconfiguration. The study has answered the questions: 1- Smart Cities are using common technological tools of I. 4.0, and 2-I. 4.0 Tech tools have relevance as main booster for "new" Smart Cities concept, giving a guidance to the managers for a strategic development orientation, suggesting they should prioritize the introduction or development of IoT, IoD and IoS.
