4 existing neighbourhoods are partners of our project as living labs.
Exploring PEDs in these 4 living labs representing various international configurations will lead to insights about what are the best or most appropriate ways to process PED in respecting local diversity and heterogeneity.
The living labs go through four main stages during the project:
exploration, co-creation, experimentation and evaluation. The results of the project are developed through trans-disciplinary and co-creation methodologies and will yield « PED action plans » for each living lab.
