How to organize the assets of the municipality of Rio Quente, with and for the benefit of its citizen and business community, making it a reference in reinvention through creativity and sustainability?
The challenge launched by the City Hall resulted in the pilot application of the original LUCAS methodology – Creative, Articulated and Sustainable Urban Laboratory, created by Garimpo de Soluções. Its implementation process involved participatory observation in the territory, dozens of interviews and extensive intelligence work for diagnosis in the areas of creative economy, tourism, water resources, sustainability, innovation in public management and rural development, as well as in the establishment of strategic positioning and priority axes. The team was also joined by the President of IBRACHICS, André Gomyde.
The project resulted in the conception of an articulation committee with local and regional actors; in the elaboration of ten initial actions to establish Rio Quente on its path of socioeconomic and cultural strengthening; and in the organization of LUCAS as a governance space to promote experimentation, innovation and collaboration for the development of sustainable, creative and active citizenship solutions.
LUCAS Rio Quente was publicly launched in November 2024 and is being carried out by the municipal management.
