Different types of technologies are created daily across the world. Some of them can directly cause impacts in people`s lives, influencing the way their daily duties are done, from the time they wake up and move around, to the time they return home and go to sleep. So, these technologies come with one purpose: Make something easier. With this purpose being responded, there is a possibility of increasing many other aspects surrounding these people, such as quality of living, use of time, opportunities and conditions to perform these daily duties. But, instead of creating something that will help one or two different persons, it is possible to change the entire environment. It is possible to transform the city and apply instruments, products, services and a create a new culture that will add a name to it, smart. Smart city concepts can be implemented anywhere at any time. It is not needed to follow a super strict manual with step by step of what to do. But, adapt and implement what is possible, necessary and accessible for your environmental conditions at that moment. Improving urbanism, water distribution, sewage conditions, decreasing traffic jams by improving public transport, offering more security for citizens, avoiding car accidents, turning a polluted place into a green example, saving people more time, offering conditions to choose or change the way and how they go somewhere. It is about connecting people with the city. This work aims to bring a vision of what is a smart city concept. The different types, how they are being used, applied and tested. It offers a vision of who is responsible for developing it and implementing it. It is a multiple case study and empirical analysis, observing the structural base, the progress, the results, gaps and positive aspects seen about implementing different types of smart perception in different regions. In these case studies, about the south half of Brazil, including Campinas, Curitiba and Florianopolis, this work brings and shows the internal differences, ideas and impacts this concept can make and how it influences the others, aiming to understand and analyze the progress and the evidences of smart city concepts implementation at this stage in the country. The cases were selected following the latest results about Brazilian cities and their technological development in this sector. For the complete methodology, it was done a previous study about the different concepts, types of smart city implementations and the methodology of measuring it in Brazil, leading to select the chosen regions as cases evidence.
