City Information Modeling: General Aspects And Conceptualization

摘要

The cities of the 21st century are subject to a large number of problems related to transportation, public safety, land use and occupation, sanitation and water availability etc. These problems are mainly observed in developing countries. Thus, the urban planners and rulers have great challenges to be faced in the planning, management and monitoring of cities. In order to deal with the current and future demands of urban populations, it is necessary to develop new paradigms capable of facing the challenges that are posed. In this context, technologies can be used to make city management more efficient, effective and effective, improving the quality of life of the population. The object of study of this paper is the conceptualization of the City Information Modeling (CIM) paradigm. Based on the critical analysis of the literature, it is intended to discuss the existing concepts for the Modeling of City Information.
