Cities as career drivers: innovation ecosystems, sustainability, and development in urban centers

This project aims to analyze how cities can act as positive agents for careers, strengthening innovation ecosystems and sustainable development. We argue that cities are spaces that foster different capitals, among them human capital, potentializing the development of work and careers. To achieve the general objective, we aim a) to promote the theoretical articulation between the concepts of careers, cities, innovation ecosystems, and sustainable development; b) to create a literature-based body of knowledge about subjective perception of city livability measures; and c) empirically investigate different contexts, promoting comparative studies between cities and groups of workers.
