Urban configurations have substantial impacts on lifestyles, behaviors, and people’s daily lives. Elaborating urban plans based on smart and sustainable initiatives is a challenging task as it encompasses numerous multidisciplinary premises due to the dynamics of the urban context. This research aims to conduct a systematic review of the literature in three axes: sustainable urban development, city master plans, and smart cities. From the portfolio of papers built, it was possible to map projects designed for sustainable urban development in order to verify the integration of these projects with city master plans, specifically for smart cities. The content analysis also sought to identify global regions that use robust models, their frameworks, and technologies for this purpose as a strategy to identify which research or frameworks can be replicated in the future, helping to develop city master plans for smart cities. Although some results were found, it was observed that there is a lack of studies integrating the topics of smart cities, sustainability, and city master plans in the same discussion. Few types of research involve the three themes or their full application, being mostly described in isolation. Thus, the originality of this study is filling this gap in the literature.
The creation of successful innovation ecosystems, like Silicon Valley, is challenging due to significant cultural, infrastructural, and resource differences between regions. In this context, the Innovation Reef (I-Reef) model emerges as a promising alternative, offering an approach for regions with limited resources to develop successful innovation ecosystems based on cooperation and mutual benefit among participants. This model has great potential to promote regional development, especially due to its focus on retaining and sharing the value generated. However, the role of I-Reef in sustainable regional development still needs to be further explored. Thus, the objective of this study is to deepen the theoretical understanding of the I-Reef model by analyzing its contribution to sustainable development. To achieve this, a comparison was made between I-Reef and established models such as business, innovation, knowledge, and entrepreneurial ecosystems. A systematic literature review conducted on Scopus found 704 articles published in the last three decades. The purpose was to identify the similarities and differences between the models of innovation business ecosystem models. The results show that there is alignment between I-Reef and the different ecosystems on several points. A central aspect of I-Reef is that it relies on a strong network of mutually beneficial relationships, much more oriented to sustainable development than the other models, which is a key factor in generating competitive advantage and development for the region. This characteristic is either not addressed or not placed at the core of the ecosystems discussed in the literature. For future research, empirical studies and validation of the I-Reef model with experts are suggested, as this theoretical study lays the foundation for more in-depth analyses.
This study reviews the last ten years of literature relating technology and knowledge transfer with issues that permeate urban planning. In order to compose the bibliographic portfolio of articles, the methodology Methodi Ordinatio was employed in order to qualify and rank the papers according to their scientific relevance. Papers from the last ten years are used as the study framework. Results indicate that the subject, applied to the context of cities, it is little explored and existing studies are predominantly theoretical. This article also contributes by bringing important information on the topics, serving as a guide for future publications.

Forecasting water demand is fundamental to a region's social and economic development. In the literature there are several studies with specific applications, However, the topic still lacks a comprehensive view. Therefore, this article proposes a integrative review of the literature, to obtain an overview of the subject (methods, areas of application, objectives, and other factors). Using Methodi Ordinatio methodology, 74 articles with scientific relevance for analysis were selected, most of them published in the USA, Australia, and the United Kingdom. It was concluded that in the use of methods there is a predominance of the approach of artificial neural networks and regression analyzes. As for the application, most studies were for forecasting residential demand.

Este trabalho apresenta um levantamento da capacidade teórica de geração fotovoltaica em bairros da cidade de Porto Alegre selecionados por critério de renda familiar. Para o estudo foi levantada a área dos telhados de uma fração de cada bairro com o software Google Earth e atribuído o valor médio dessas áreas a todo bairro. Posteriormente foi levantado o número de edificações e classificado em cinco tipologias de telhado por meio de inspeção visual de imagens do Google Maps. Com essas informações foi encontrada a área aproximada das coberturas das edificações. Para estimar a área disponível para instalação foi aplicado um de redução devido à orientação dos telhados, além de um fator de 70% para considerar a. utilização das áreas dos telhados. Com os dados considerados para os cálculos verifica-se que a geração distribuída de energia variou significativamente conforme o perfil das edificações e a taxa de ocupação de cada bairro. Os mais verticais apresentaram potencial para atender de 20% a 40% da demanda, enquanto que os horizontais essa capacidade ultrapassou 100% nas áreas analisadas
