Study case: Living Lab Mode for urban project design Emergence of an ad hoc methodology through collaborative innovation

Living Lab Mode for urban projects opens various fields of investigation for urban project management and Living Lab methodology. Using a three year-experiment on co-designing an eco-neighborhood, this study case contributes to examine the specificity of long-term user-oriented project management. Furthermore, the study describes the development of a method to implement a project in Living Lab Mode. Finally, the research underlines the mutual contribution between participatory process and co-design process in an urban project.
