- Abstract
Cities nowadays face many different pressures which are forcing them to become economically competitive by attracting investment and employment. This, in turn, demands increasingly sophisticated resources. Innovation and creativity have frequently been deployed for this purpose, but also as a means of introducing contemporaneity into lifestyles, urban spaces and cultural and artistic initiatives. The Almada – Laboratório de Ideias project not only challenges the demand for unrestrained territorial competition, alienated from the values of equity and social cohesion and fuelling the classic forms of leadership and cultural products isolated from socio‑local contexts, but also strengthens links between local actors, involving young people in creating projects that forge links between territory, innovation and technology, and fostering interaction with the local community, thus generating social capital.
