Urban mobility plays a key role in the ecosystems of complex smart cities. It is considered a key factor in enabling cities to become more intelligent, which highlights the importance of identifying the drivers that improve the intelligence of cities. In this study, we investigate the main drivers with the potential to increase urban mobility intelligence and assign them a priority. Following on from a systematic review of the literature, we conducted broad and detailed bibliographic research based on the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). We also surveyed 181 professionals working in the field concerned to confirm the importance of different drivers and assign them a level of priority. The results show that 27 drivers identified in the literature were considered important, of which seven, related to city governance and technical solutions, were considered the most important to increase urban mobility intelligence.
Project management has incorporated sustainability concepts, but their relationship is still widely discussed. In this article, we research key practices for incorporating sustainability in project management from the perspective of 919 Brazilian professionals with experience in the field. We used factor analysis to explore the relationship between 37 sustainability practices. The results showed that these sustainability practices can be grouped into five key practices: environmental efficiency, compliance, social responsibility, continuous improvement and lessons learned, and project success. We also used word clouds to highlight the main themes in the practices encompassed by each key practice. The results contribute to project leaders and other project management professionals directing their efforts toward improving sustainability actions related to these practices in project management processes.
The sewage system is one of the components of the complex ecosystem of cities. Although increasing the intelligence of this system is an essential driver for having smarter cities, there are few works aimed at identifying drivers that enhance the intelligence of urban sanitary sewage systems. The identification of these drivers, as well as the degree of importance of each one, is strongly influenced by the perception of researchers and professionals about the reality of each country. In this work, we identified the main drivers that increase the intelligence of the Brazilian urban sanitary sewage systems based on extensive and detailed bibliographic research and in the vision of 241 Brazilian professionals with experience in the concerned field. We used factor analysis to explore the relationship between the drivers. The survey results showed that the twenty drivers found in the literature can be grouped into six factors, depending on their approach, and that seven were considered priorities. They also showed that the path to be followed to increase the intelligence of sewage systems in Brazilian cities is still influenced by the challenges of solving structural problems.
