Resumo:
Along with the development of society, productivity rates increase, causing the needs of the people to change. As a result, new technologies rise to fulfill the stability of the system and maintain the developing trend. This fact leads to the growth in the com-plexity of cities affecting their vulnerability and sustainability. The study and modeling of the interdependent relationships among cities´ critical infrastructures can provide not only optimal action plans for extreme events scenarios but also provide effective and strategic long-term planning to optimize the system towards the desired goal, which is the case of this research. This work provides a reliable model of the systems in a developing city that aims to represent the interdependent relationships in it, along with its variables, inputs, outputs, and possible modifiers. This plan will hopefully pave the way for the economic and energetic development of the city towards making it a smarter city and also showing that it is possible to make smart the existing, not planned, developing cities.
