In order to tackle issues limiting sustainable urban development and secure a sustainable future, both countries have embraced the concept of smart cities that offers a combination of solutions through various technology-driven innovations applied to different urban environments. The Australia-Brazil Smart City Research and Practice Network establishes an ongoing exchange of smart cities research and practice between Australia and Brazil. The exchange was launched at the Australia-Brazil Smart City Research and Practice Forum held in Florianopolis, Brazil with an aim of setting up a formal network to bring both countries closer.
