Economic viability of the community is a vital part of an overall sustainability approach. In order to ensure viability, a number of success parameters have been defined for the Algarve Energy Park. It needs to be attractive to businesses, as well as meet academic and industry needs. It also needs to be multifunctional, integrated within its various components, interactive and accessible to the public.

To promote and deliver a successful real estate opportunity in the current market is critical, offering a fresh perspective on assembling the opportunity and proving its credentials to external investors, lenders, end users and decision makers.

Globalization, inexpensive network connectivity, growth in social software and a new architecture of participation is driving an explosive growth in social networking and business collaboration. The Algarve Energy Park is embracing these trends and technologies to accelerate marketing outreach and drive collaborative working. 

As F. Jodidio wrote in his recently published Green Architecture Now, “green is the name of the game”. Eco technology is breaking into the DIY market and anyone can decide how sustainable they want their lives to be. “Sustainable” is everywhere from consumer products to professional talks, and urbanism is no exception.
