Sumario:This article presents the state of the art of a monitoring platform for urban green areas − UrbVerde − in the municipalities of the São Paulo State. Its construction is based on Cloud Computing and orbital remote sensing. The objective is to provide metrics for monitoring socio-environmental inequalities from a local and intraurban scale, including vegetation indexes, surface temperature, and open space systems (parks and squares), relating them to population aspects grouped by censitary sectors. It, thus, constitutes a trackable information base with potential for the implementation of public policies, such as the Municípios VerdeAzul program. Through interactive data analysis and correlation tools, the inter-relational aspect of the involved geographic variables is highlighted, representing a gain of governance intelligence. In addition, the approach in use provides new insights into the distribution and accessibility of municipalities’ green infrastructure, promoting awareness among managers and greater inclusion of the population in decision-making processes. In this way, it is expected, with the support of disruptive technology, to jointly stimulate the processes of decision support for green recovery in the Decade of Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030), enabling the process of transforming the municipalities into smart and sustainable cities.
