Introduction
Latin America is one of the most urbanized region in the
developing world. So there is great potential for sustainable
development in cities of Latin America. Approximately 80%
of Brazil's population (currently 194 million – IBGE, 2011)
live in cities. This urbanization is forcing cities in Brazil and
other countries to make their infrastructure more efficient
and sustainable in ICT areas.
