Project description
In contrast to hierarchical modes of steering, the (Urban) Lab is often presented as a new experimental forum that can better ensure inclusive citizen participation and promote social resilience. In this project we investigate how vulnerable youth participate in Urban Labs when it comes to questions about their health, social support, informal care and job opportunities. Underlying mechanisms of inclusion/exclusion and experimental governance will be unraveled on the basis of different case studies in cities and rural areas. This project will contribute to knowledge exchange about inclusive citizen engagement and experimental governance.
