The astonishing pace at which the world is currently developing creates the need for (sustainable) innovation to solve urban challenges. Living labs are pursued in many innovation projects, scientific programs and municipal organizations. They are everywhere. The common challenge we have is making and understanding impact with urban experimentation.
The annual global Urban Living Lab Summit, organised by ATELIER partner AMS Institute, brings together high-level living lab scholars, experienced practitioners, active city officials and ambitious companies. The goal is to strengthen the emerging urban living lab community of experts, in order to promote and curate insights and knowledge about the urban living lab methodologies, to be shared globally.
This year’s theme: ‘Perspectives on Impact’
This year we will work together on learning and co-creating on how to measure and make impact with urban living labs. For this conference, impact is defined as: making lasting change in society through the development, operation, experimentation, and learning in the Living Labs.
