This paper discusses the City Information Modeling (CIM) paradigm from a
wide approach, considering the theoretical and conceptual bias on those and other related
terms. The CIM has been pointed by some authors as an extension of the BIM concept for the
urban space. However, considering the characteristics of the city comparing to an isolated
building and the profusion of concepts in use, some issues need a more deep discussion.
These concepts are closely related and have some overlap (that is why sometimes they
are misunderstood). Thus, we intended to broaden the discussion to clarify the concept
and terminology, and contribute to their use, in addition to improving the development of
applications and technologies for planning, management and monitoring the cities. We have
no intention of exhausting the theme, due the vastness of issues involved and the reduced
space for discussion, but mainly because these issues are still “open”, promoting discussion
and controversy.
