The modern city is a complex and dynamic system that, today, can benefit from the almost infinite possibilities of technology scattered ubiquitously, changing the way the city talks to us, and how we live and interact within it.All this represents an incredible opportunity in planning the city of tomorrow, but it is not enough. To find the right answers to the questions that big data generates about the world we live in, it is necessary to use new tools for urban planning that allows planners to develop and use, with total control, the new resources available, which would be unmanageable and redundant in traditional analysis and planning processes.
Considering the traditional city strategic plans as obsolete and inadequate to guide the transformation of a complex and extremely dynamic system such as the modern city, it is possible to explore an innovative approach based on the use of computational tools to optimize the performance of the system in relation to the goals of the project.
