© 2024, Universidade de Taubate. All rights reserved.This paper aims to evaluate the conditions of information and communication technologies (ICT) in Brazilian cities due to implementing the smart city concept and digital transformation. It applied an assessment of the readiness of ICT, which provided data gathering, analysis, and results demonstration capabilities by directly calculating the level of readiness of each technology and its specific functionalities and by the interactions and interfaces between the functionalities of different ICT applications analyzed through the Complex Network Analysis. Eleven cities in the state of São Paulo were considered in this analysis. The results showed that most analyzed dimensions are framed between levels 3-Initial and 4-Elementary. Pearson's correlation application indicates that the HDI-M and the measured ICT assessment have a strong positive correlation (ρ = 0.89). The proposed model embedded in the system urbeSys seeks to contribute to the theoretical and practical perspectives and to complement the existing evaluation models, focusing on verifying the readiness and application of ICT for the management of cities. Also, this work postulates a new concept for the term smart city, entering the multidisciplinary dialogue on the subject.
