Across Europe, some 200 million people live in suburbs in great need of modernization and social uplifting. The SubUrbanLab project (2014-2016) examined how these suburbs can be modernized and socially uplifted together with the residents and other stakeholders. The goal was to turn the suburbs into more attractive, sustainable and economically viable urban areas. The project developed and set up six Urban Living Labs (ULLs): three in Alby, Sweden and three in Peltosaari, Finland. These ULLs were arenas for co-creation of innovative urban solutions and a means to develop new forms of experiences on involving the residents and stakeholders into development in an urban context. This booklet presents the main results and learnings of the SubUrbanLab-project. The aim is to support further use of Urban Living Lab-approaches among municipalities and other stakeholders working for sustainable development of residental areas. |
