Abstract

The growth of cities will be an economic model for development, as it is in megacities that major transformations take place and where there are demands for public services, products, housing, transport and employment. In this context, the good use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) can be fundamental for cities to meet such demands. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aligned with the objectives of projects that have ICT in their development are a gateway to a smarter city. Therefore, the objective of the article is to identify which sustainable development objectives are contemplated in project initiatives that use ICTs in their development in two cities in Rio Grande do Sul. A descriptive qualitative research of multiple cases was carried out based on 12 interviews using a semi-structured script, more information about the projects was sought through secondary data. The interviews were transcribed and content analysis applied to the collected materials. The results showed that the 4 projects include SDGs, so as a practical result, a checklist was formulated that assesses the objectives of each project and serves as a guide for future projects to align their development with the 17 SDGs.
