Abstract

Introduction/Objective: The objective of this article is to analyze the current academic literature on smart cities in Brazil with evidence of the application of Digital Twin or Digital Shadow technology. Method: Integrative Literature Review was used as the research instrument, analyzing in the articles: a) objective; b) research method; c) study subject (location); d) application of Digital Twin or Digital Shadow; e) Results and conclusions. Results: Portfolio with 25 articles on the topic and qualitative analysis regarding objective, method, study location, Digital Twin technology, Digital Shadow, and results. Studies with elements of Digital Shadow are perceived timidly in two cases of smart cities in Brazil. Conclusion: Smart city technologies should be centered on the interests of users to not lose their humanity. It is worth adding that people's needs change and, therefore, smart technologies should have a forward-looking vision to anticipate the needs of future generations. Digital Twin technology is a model that can contribute in this sense, monitoring and providing readings of future scenarios for smart cities.
