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.
