SUMMARY:

Urban planning has historically undergone different understandings that have changed the way we perceive and plan cities. Currently, the intelligent paradigm stands out on the Brazilian public agenda, which materializes in urban projects such as intelligent and human cities. Linked to the issue of urban and technological innovation, the paradigm promises to be an instrument of modernization, inclusive and sustainable growth, improving people's quality of life through the intense use of smart infrastructures in order to improve the city's services, optimizing its resources. In this sense, identifying public initiatives in urban and technological innovation within the scope of investments in smart and human cities, the thesis aims to analyze changes and/or permanence in human activities (education, health, assistance, economic development, etc.) and inequalities with the increase in technological infrastructures in the built environment. To this end, a historical microanalysis is methodologically carried out based on the empirical study in the city of Natal/RN. The aforementioned municipality adhered to the intelligent and human model through the ‘Natal smart and human city’ Project. To achieve the outlined goals, the research pursues three categories of analysis, namely: a) the formation of the public agenda in the intelligent proposal; b) the influence of the paradigm on the spatial structure of the built environment (implementation of infrastructure, etc.) and on the provision of public services (digital government); c) local socioeconomic development. The methodological procedures accessed are mostly qualitative, especially when they dispute the statements, judgments and expectations regarding the set of findings that involve the social actors of the quadruple helix innovation ecosystem (government, academia, market and population). For each group of actors interviewed (with the exception of the population) there is a common thread guiding semi-structured interviews that address questions about: ‘formation of the public agenda’; ‘public policy on technological infrastructure’; ‘market and local economy’; ‘public services, technological infrastructures and customer service’ and; ‘smart and human city in multi-annual municipal planning’. Problematizing urban planning dependent on the intense use of technological infrastructures (info roads, technology parks, telematics, etc.) and Artificial Intelligence – AI (smartphone, notebook, computers, etc.) in the context of common inequalities in peripheral countries, the research questions: how Does public policy in Natal around the intelligent and human paradigm reproduce inequalities in access to opportunities through the structuring of the built environment? The Thesis assesses that the public policy of a smart and humane city reinforces the socio-spatial inequalities that are evident in the built environment in the city of Natal, in a scenario that does not include the poorest population, not achieving the inclusion promised by the aforementioned paradigm.
