It is a public policy that has its origin in the 1990s, which initially takes place in the United States, Finland, Netherlands, Japan. In Brazil, the experiences of digital cities are raised by local administrations that seek to modernize the state bureaucratic apparatus, promote digital inclusion and provide public services through digital technologies laying the foundations for what is now considered smart city. The objective of this article is to present and discuss experiences of digital cities implemented in the cities of Sao Paulo, Sud Menucci, Porto Alegre, Palmas and Piraí.
