1. Introduction
The purpose of this chapter is to explain the concepts of urban engineering and to highlight
some of the challenges faced by this discipline. The overall idea is to describe how urban
engineering relates to other areas of engineering expertise, particularly within the context of
civil engineering. To do this we have drawn mainly on our own professional and academic
experience, fleshed out by an examination of the relevant literature available both in Brazil
and further afield. At the outset it should be said that most of our observations focus on the
city of São Paulo where our present professional concerns lie. However, in future works we
hope to extend our approach beyond the confines of São Paulo in an effort to broaden and
improve our understanding of the concepts underlying urban engineering as a necessary
prelude to enable us to supply useful guidance for researchers, experts and students keen to
work alongside the engineering professionals currently employed in our cities.
