Sensitive Cities Laboratory - LabCEUS
The Laboratórios de Cidades Sensitivas (lit. Sensitive Cities Laboratories, LabCEUS) was a project developed between 2014 and 2015 in ten cities in Brazil - Águas Lindas de Goiás (GO), Campo Largo (PR), Colatina (ES), Erechim (RS), Horizonte (CE), Luís Eduardo Magalhães (BA), Petrolina (PE), São Félix do Xingu (PA), Sertãozinho (SP) and Sete Lagoas (MG) - by the Federal University of Pernambuco with the support of the Ministry of Culture. The objective of the project was to integrate the Unified Arts and Sports Centers (CEUs) with technology and citizen participation by developing activities that encourage and strengthen community participation in issues related to the city. Each laboratory has developed specific interventions on various topics ranging from garbage collection to sports and food. The Sensitive Cities Laboratory was part of the initiatives of the New Urban Agenda presented at the III United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Development.
