Abstract

This research project aims to propose an innovation habitat conceptual model for the Guarulhos city as a public policy instrument that contributes for the local sustainable development. The research methodology consists in an analysis of the national and international experiences about innovation habitats in high dense urban regions, selecting the best practices, and to perform a case study, which is considered adequate for local condition diagnosis; the research criteria are the social-economic, political-cultural and scientific-technological dimensions. The project team also intends to promote the knowledge dissemination, capacitating the beneficiary entity and partner staff and to assist local leadership formation. (AU)
