Putting urban experiments into context: Integrating urban living labs and city-regional priorities

In this chapter, we examine how urban living labs (ULL) and experiments relate to established urban governance structures and priorities. We are concerned with the ways in which ULL and experiments connect to each other within a city-wide governance context, and how this context both shapes, and is shaped by, experimentation. By considering experimentation within its broader urban context, the chapter sheds light on the potential for portfolios of experiments to shape and drive urban transformation, and by extension, the durability of experimentation as a governance strategy.
