O patrimônio cultural nas cidades inteligentes

Abstract

This article aims to investigate the theme of heritage preservation in the context of smart cities. Smart cities are a relatively recent proposal, which first studies date back to the 1990s, begining to be widely propagated since the 2010s. These proposals aim to transform the urban space and its services in a “smart” way, with the use of new information and communication technologies (ICTs), in fields such as health, mobility, security, among others. However, almost nothing is proposed about the cultural heritage preservation, problem which motivated the present study. As methodological approach, a systematic literature review (SLR) was carried out, with 56 publications from different countries, a set that reveals some important issues for the heritage field regarding city “smartification” projects, such as those already taking place in Brazil. As conclusions, is pointed out the proposal of these studies in constitute a new form of heritage preservation - the “smart heritage”, discussing its implications, limitations and possibilities.
