Moving beyond Urban Living Labs: exploring failures, successes, and further ambitions

Brussels2030

Analyzing urban systems demands sophisticated approaches that integrate diverse forms of knowledge, experience and expertise. Using that knowledge for guiding change is even more complex and involves a lot of trialing and learning. Spaces that allow for such experiments can be created in the form of Urban Living Labs (ULL) which use flexible approaches to address, cocreate and experiment on societal challenges in everyday urban settings. Whereas first generation ULLs were conceptualized as temporary and spatially confined interventions, there is now an active debate about emerging models of ‘ULL 2.0’ – a novel approach aiming towards long-term urban transformation. In this session we will explore Brussels-based experiences with ULLs, discuss failures and successes, and scope further ambition and opportunities, building on the B2030 momentum. Each session starts with an experience sharing from an ongoing or past Living Lab. From there, we build a shared canvas for future projects throughout the week. You can join us for a one-day session or stick around the entire week.
