Arrangement of Actors in the Triple Helix Innovation - Technopolis: Best Practices for Science and Technology Cities - page 133

A smart economy, that focused in stimulating competitiveness, innovative
enterprises, productivity and international relations;
The smart mobility, that includes a secure, sustainable, and innovative transport
system for accessibility;
The smart environment, that stimulates the attractiveness of natural conditions,
with environmental protection and sustainable management of resources, working
technology, innovation, and creativity to improve quality of life on the planet,
targeting a global, sustainable, and productive growth.
Smart people, citizens as co-producers and consumers of content and services,
engaged earlier in the innovation process and being respected in their patterns of
behavior in their new behaviors. People encouraged to increase their skills with
ongoing training in services and entrepreneurship, highlighting the social and
ethnic diversity, the creativity, and the participation in public life.
Smart life, quality of life with healthy conditions, cultural facilities, safety,
educational facilities, attractive tourism, and social cohesion. Participatory urban
planning and co-design. One of the roles of culture in this context is the social
integration, which disrupts the distances between social groups through ''fostering
creativity, the rescue of population self-esteem, the rescue of traditional values
and, through them, the socio-cultural identity.'' (Vetrale 2000 ).
Smart governance, which involves the participation of citizens in decision
making and encourages public-private partnerships. Participatory governance,
responsible, transparent, receptive, efficient, equitable, and inclusive. Develop
long-term plans, creating a strategic vision that meets the needs of future gener-
ations. Foster innovation in education and learning. We need smart people: more
than infrastructure legacy of the big events, we have to think about the knowledge
legacy for people—in the human capital.
4 Innovation Mechanisms in Cities
Entrepreneurship in Brazil has grown significantly in recent years. Much of this
growth is underpinned by a model where the innovation habitats (incubators and
parks), are supported or backed by fostering institutions where the government has
a significant role.
The incubator movement had a sharp increase between the years 1995-2008
and the technology parks have shown a sharp increase from 2003 on.
Technology and Science Parks are directly related to the local and regional
socio-economic development, implemented from structuring programs. The state
and local governments realize that it comes to strategies to stimulate growth and
direct the development of their regions.
These environments cause impacts with social reflect in their surroundings and,
as a whole, in trade, services, and real estate sectors, which will feel more acutely
the effects of its operation. The existence of a technology park in a region (states
and districts) tends to generate a change in behavior of the private and academic
