Urban Innovation Ecosystem and Humane and Sustainable Smart City: A Balanced Approach in Curitiba
The need to foster more Humane and sustainable smart cities (HSSC) is a challenge in many cities all over the world. It is crucial for urban planners to take notice and to connect their projects to the HSSC concepts and also to the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. This work explores a balanced approach observed in the city of Curitiba in Brazil, involving three leading components: (i) main conceptual drivers, (ii) a policy and strategic plan, and (iii) several projects under execution and already in place. A descriptive framework emerged from a triangulation method to organize the components. The main conclusions are: (i) there is a symbiosis between the urban innovation ecosystem and the HSSC implementation mainly involving the ICTs, (ii) there is a positive mindset for innovation in the city, (iii) the participation of the stakeholders in the innovation ecosystem and in the HSSC decisions facilitates the development of actions, (iv) the organized civil society plays a major role, and (v) co-creation and co-management based on a triple helix approach provide stability and reduce vulnerability. At the end, this paper presents some considerations about the framework to support the decision-making processes of innovation managers and urban planners.
