Since the advent of the second digital revolution, the exponential advancement of technology is shaping a world with new social, economic, political, technological, and legal circumstances. The consequential disruptions force governments and societies to seek ways for their cities to become more humane, ethical, inclusive, intelligent, and sustainable. In recent years, the concept of City-as-a-Platform was coined with the hope of providing an innovative approach for addressing the aforementioned disruptions. Today, this concept is rapidly gaining popularity, as more and more platform thinking applications become available to the city context—so-called platform urbanism. These platforms used for identifying and addressing various urbanization problems with the assistance of open data, participatory innovation opportunity, and collective knowledge. With these developments in mind, this study aims to tackle the question of “How can platform urbanism support local governance efforts in the development of smarter cities?” Through an integrative review of journal articles published during the last decade, the evolution of City-as-a-Platform was analyzed. The findings revealed the prospects and constraints for the realization of transformative and disruptive impacts on the government and society through the platform urbanism, along with disclosing the opportunities and challenges for smarter urban development governance with collective knowledge through platform urbanism.

Access To Health

Objetivo: compreender a dinâmica de acesso do transfronteiriço aos serviços de saúde. Método: pesquisa exploratória, descritiva e de campo em quatro cidades gêmeas do Paraná (Foz do Iguaçu, Guaíra, Santo Antônio do Sudoeste e Barracão). Os dados foram obtidos por meio de entrevista semiestruturada aplicada aos gestores de saúde e submetidos à análise temática de conteúdo proposta por Bardin. Resultados: quatro categorias temáticas discutidas criticamente com a literatura, observou-se no estudo que a) há um maior acolhimento nos municípios menores, sobretudo na atenção básica; b) o financiamento como principal entrave para o acesso do transfronteiriço; c) a decisão discricionária do profissional de saúde no momento do atendimento face à ausência de diretrizes institucionalizadas que perdurem. Considerações finais: verificou-se que o acesso ao serviço de saúde do transfronteiriço é instável e confuso, mas  a disseminação do pensamento integrador e de solidariedade entre os povos, a partir do nível local, poderá contribuir para ampliar a noção de cidadania e de acolhimento ao transfronteiriço.
