• Abstract:

  The capital of Amazonas is an example of a city in the forest that, due to the installation of the Industrial Pole, evolved into a city with urban and industrial characteristics. Its industrial park is renowned for its innovation and competitiveness (industry 4.0), which contributes to an audacious project to transform it into a city prepared for the 21st century. Therefore, we aim to analyze the evolutionary trajectory of the city of Manaus, observing the characteristics of a city in the forest for a smart and sustainable city in compliance with SDG 11.Manaus is an urban-industrial metropolis, which houses a model of regional development with 55 years of uninterrupted activities, responsible for generating more than one hundred thousand jobs, with a productive weight of 15% and 80% of GDP (regional and state, respectively) and which presents peculiarities to become an intelligent and sustainable city in the heart of the largest tropical forest on the planet.
