Innovation and sustainability research networks for the built environment

Abstract

This work aims to map cooperation networks in scientific research in Brazil, identifying relevant fields of activity, such as smart cities, carried out by the Innovation and Sustainability Park of the Built Environment. Using the Lattes database, it was possible to identify the main players in scientific production and observe that the Southeast and South regions collaborate more with the theme of smart cities, while the Federal District interacts more with Pará and São Paulo. To expand the cooperation network, it is necessary to intensify collaboration with other states, such as Rio Grande do Norte, Rio de Janeiro, Bahia and Santa Catarina.
