City of Lund Urban Lab Workshop 1

Background

Urban Lab Lund had stepped into a new phase that focused on testing various methodologies and how to reach out and expand the ecosystem. The Urban Lab Lund team agreed early in the process to see the city as an urban ecosystem where all players live in conjunction with each other and the city’s physical surroundings and infrastructure. We all, big or small, have an impact on the urban ecosystem. However, most organisations, public, private or civil, are to a large extent busy with their own survival and development. This means that the bigger picture or eco-systems thinking is rarely in focus for them. To make this possible, Urban Lab Lund needed to involve more people and introduce them to the ecosystem thinking and methods. 

About the event

In August 2019, Urban Lab Lund hosted a workshop on the topic “Multi-stakeholder Governance” at local cultural centre Mejeriet. The workshop was also part of the Future by Lund Innovation Platform Conference which helped to reach a wider spread of audiences, increase visibility as well as credibility. Stakeholders from the sectors of culture, innovation, entrepreneurship, business, Lund City departments, local politicians and the Region of Skåne all took part in the workshop.
