City Information Modeling (CIM) constitutes a new paradigm that seeks to face the demands generated by the growing urban complexity. The CIM can be understood with the extension of the concept of Building Information Modeling (BIM) to the city, and its scope encompasses from the various phases of urban planning, the life cycle of urban systems, including performance indicators, up to the identification of urban morphology patterns. For this it uses technologies, systems, tools, models and standards that have been proposed and implemented. In this context, the new discipline aims to introduce and discuss the state of the art of City Information Modeling, contemplating its theoretical and practical aspects, such as: conceptualization, data standards, technologies and applications, in addition to problematizing the theme.

The subjects include presentation and discussion of the state of the art of the City Information Modeling (CIM) paradigm or Modeling of City Information, which involves the representation of urban complexity through computer systems. In this process, theoretical and practical aspects of city planning will be addressed, as well as their relationship with the life cycle of the various urban systems. The CIM approach comprises: conceptualization and applications; technologies and tools; working methods; models: types and characteristics; data standards.
