WHAT IS A CITY LIVING LAB?
A city is a living laboratory for innovation. A Living Lab is an environment for innovation and an approach to innovation. According to the European Network of Living Labs, a Living Lab is an open and innovative environment of "real life" circumstances, in which innovation aimed at users is part of the co-creation process for new services, products, and social infrastructure. Living labs encompass, simultaneously, social and technological dimensions in a partnership between companies, citizens, governments, and universities.
It is an ecosystem where different partners work side by side, sharing knowledge while interacting with a variety of knowledge and technologies, inducing a fertile ground for innovation, research, and interdisciplinary communication.
