A new publication from GUST on urban living labs (ULLs) in Europe, which are emerging as a form of collective urban
governance and experimentation to address sustainability challenges and
opportunities created by urbanisation. ULLs have different goals, they
are initiated by various actors, and they form different types of
partnerships. There is no uniform ULL definition. However, many projects
studying and testing living lab methodologies are focusing on urban
sustainability and low carbon challenges, as demonstrated by the current
projects funded by the Joint Programming Initiative (JPI) Urban Europe.
At the same time, there is no clear understanding of what the ultimate
role of ULLs is in urban governance, and whether they represent a
completely new phenomenon that is replacing other forms of
participation, collaboration, experimentation, learning and governing in
cities. There is a need to clarify what makes the ULL approach
attractive and novel. The aim of this article is to develop current
understandings through an examination of how the ULL concept is being
operationalised in contemporary urban governance for sustainability and
low carbon cities. This is undertaken through the analysis of academic
literature complemented with five snapshot case studies of major ongoing
ULL projects funded by JPI Urban Europe. Five key ULL characteristics
are identified and elaborated: geographical embeddedness,
experimentation and learning, participation and user involvement,
leadership and ownership, and evaluation and refinement. The paper
concludes by outlining a research agenda that highlights four key
topics: ways in which the ULL approach is operationalised, the nature of
ULL partnerships and the role of research institutions, the types of
challenges addressed by different ULLs, and the role of sustainability
and low carbon issues in framing ULLs.
