4. From the Manaus Free Zone::
The Manaus Free Trade Zone (ZFM) is a model of economic development implemented by
the Brazilian government, aiming to provide an economic base in the Western Amazon, to
promote a better productive and social integration of this region to the country, guaranteeing
national sovereignty over its borders.
The most successful regional development strategy, the model leads to the region of its
scope (states of the Western Amazon: Acre, Amazonas, Rondônia and Roraima and the
cities of Macapá and Santana, Amapá) economic development allied to environmental
protection, providing Better quality of life for their populations.
ZFM comprises three economic poles: commercial, industrial and agricultural. The first had
a higher rise until the end of the 1980s, when Brazil adopted the closed economy regime.
The industrial is considered the base of support of the ZFM. The industrial center of Manaus
has approximately 600 high-tech industries generating over half a million direct and indirect
jobs, mainly in the electronics, two-wheel and chemical segments. Among the products
manufactured are: cellular and audio and video devices, televisions, motorcycles,
concentrates for soft drinks, among others. The Agricultural and Livestock Pole hosts
projects focused on food production, agroindustry, fish farming, tourism, wood processing,
among others.

5. Political proposals presented at the World Cup in 2014:
The Federal Government, through the Ministry of Sports, the Government of Amazonas and
the Municipal Government of Manaus, celebrated a document called the Matrix of
Responsibility, signed on January 23, 2010, in Brasília -DF.
It was publicly stated at the time that one of the positive aspects of this decision-making
would be the possibility of making significant changes in the Urban Mobility of Manaus,
under the terms of Clause Three - Responsibilities of Unitholders. During this period, a great
deal of information was conveyed on the prospects for the feasibility of installing subways,
Monorail, Cycles, etc.
During this period, the then Governor Eduardo Braga initiated a massive campaign in the
media, publicizing projects of urban interventions. This is how the records of the
government's intentions and of the various negotiations about the change in the matrixes of
the large transport system for the city appeared.
As regards the issue, there are records, which highlight the following:
The Manaus Monorail is a collective transportation system in design. With the start of
works scheduled for the second half of 2013, it will have 20 km and 9 stations and connect
the center of Manaus to the Jorge Teixeira neighborhood, at a cost of R $ 1.4 billion.

With the choice of Brazil to host the 2014 World Cup, several capitals have applied to be one
of the 12 venues of the games. The city of Manaus launched an application to be one of the
headquarters of the canopy in 2008 and within the proposal to host the games, studies were
begun for the design of a medium capacity collective transportation system. Following the
completion of the studies, the government of Amazonas presented the project of installing a
monorail line linking the center of Manaus to the Jorge Teixeira neighborhood, in the eastern
part of the city, passing through the future arena Arena da Amazônia. With fourteen
kilometers of extension and 5 stations, it would carry around 170 thousand passengers per
day, having been budgeted at R $ 850 million.
The project would evolve from the choice of Manaus as one of the headquarters of the World
Cup and the state of Amazonas would sign the document of Matrix of Responsibilities with
FIFA committing itself to improve the urban mobility of the city of Manaus.

9. The aspirations of the population:
Considering a metropolitan city embedded in the middle of the exuberant Amazon jungle,
with a population of more than two million inhabitants and with an industrial pole of the most
expressive of Latin America, being the sixth economy among the Brazilian cities, Manaus
can not Without the feasibility of expanding the necessary improvements in their urban or
socio-technical systems.
One of the main factors for the adoption of more efficient urban infrastructure projects is the
urgent implementation of mitigating measures for Urban Mobility within the new concepts and
standards of intelligent cities.

10. Conclusion: Smart City in Manaus.
Characterized, therefore, by its architectural beauty, the richness of its biodiversity and the
concentration of the second most important pole of industrial production in Latin America,
Manaus also has serious urban problems that need to be solved. In this context, we are faced
with issues related to urban mobility, especially the public transport system, whose
challenges have pushed local authorities and government officials to discuss projects and
ideas in order to seek the construction of an intelligent city , Based on balance and respect
for nature, the environment and the planet. Therefore, I am presenting this case study
seeking, above all, the academic suggestions, technical guidelines, socioeconomic
indications and investments of the credit institutions, in the sense that we can present a
complete proposal for the decision of the local public managers and managers, aiming at the
realization Of dreams and plans of improvements needed for a metropolitan city in the
Amazon, providing a healthier life to its inhabitants.
