Abstract

The article highlights the role of geoinformation in characterizing smart urban governance. To do so, it seeks to define how geoinformation fits into various areas of municipal management, such as environment, urban planning, transportation, agriculture, geology, among others. It enables the creation of maps, spatial data analysis, modeling of geographic phenomena, visualization of geographic information, decision making, and much more. The role of geoportals in this context is also highlighted, in order to visualize how these interactions, occur, as well as interoperability, characterized as a driving principle of smart urban governance as a system. The article also provides examples of global cities that efficiently use geoinformation and geoportals, always valuing data interoperability as a central element for its realization.
