In recent years, Sustainability Living Labs (SLL) have emerged as a transformative approach within the knowledge society, offering frameworks to drive regional development and innovation. This chapter explores the potentials and limitations of managing a territory as a SLL within the knowledge society as a catalyst for regional change. This research employs a mixed-method approach, including a literature review of Living Labs (LL), participant observation of the planning process for a Science and Technology Park in Campinas, Brazil, and a focus group analysis framed within Knowledge-Based Urban Development (KBUD) concepts. This framework systematically addresses both tangible and intangible aspects of place under key themes: Context, Form, Function, Ambiance, and Image, juxtaposed with the literature on LL. Key findings underscore the importance of early stakeholder engagement, interdisciplinary approaches, and structured feedback processes aligned with global agendas. The study also highlights limitations, such as governance challenges, bureaucratic rigidity, and limited financial resources, which hinder effective collaboration and innovation in Knowledge Districts.

摘要

In recent years, Sustainability Living Labs (SLL) have emerged as a transformative approach within the knowledge society, offering frameworks to drive regional development and innovation. This chapter explores the potentials and limitations of managing a territory as a SLL within the knowledge society as a catalyst for regional change. This research employs a mixed-method approach, including a literature review of Living Labs (LL), participant observation of the planning process for a Science and Technology Park in Campinas, Brazil, and a focus group analysis framed within Knowledge-Based Urban Development (KBUD) concepts. This framework systematically addresses both tangible and intangible aspects of place under key themes: Context, Form, Function, Ambiance, and Image, juxtaposed with the literature on LL. Key findings underscore the importance of early stakeholder engagement, interdisciplinary approaches, and structured feedback processes aligned with global agendas. The study also highlights limitations, such as governance challenges, bureaucratic rigidity, and limited financial resources, which hinder effective collaboration and innovation in Knowledge Districts.
