This happens in all&nbsp;productive sectors, as well as in the&nbsp;fields of knowledge, politics and civil&nbsp;society. In such a scenario, the build&nbsp;ing sector is often called into question,&nbsp;remembering its centrality in the anthropisation processes of the territory&nbsp;and its responsibilities regarding the&nbsp;impacts induced on our habitat. At&nbsp;the same time, however, it often takes&nbsp;on the appearance of a stone guest in&nbsp;the debates where the strategies and&nbsp;directions of the implementation policies at international, community and&nbsp;national level are outlined. A decidedly uncomfortable position that, by&nbsp;discounting endemic backwardness&nbsp;and little propensity for innovation&nbsp;and change, contributes to the configuration of its strongly dichotomous&nbsp;character.</div> ER -
