Resumo

The authorities of San Marcos' municipality (Mexico) have funded a project to develop it as a smart and sustainable place. This requires funding, technology, and expertise that they scarcely have, since they are afflicted by digital exclusion. To face the challenge, they have teamed up with Unijuí University and Santa Rosa city (Brazil) under Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) and with University of Cambridge under academic collaboration. In this paper, we (the team) discuss the main technical problems, technology used, results achieved and pending. Our strategy is to use low-cost technologies with optimised deployments to minimise maintenance and environmental costs.

Palavras-chave: smart and sustainable cities, open technologies, optimisation with metaheuristics, internet of things, simulated annealing
