Citizen-Driven Innovation

Starter Pack

The basic idea of this guidebook is to inspire you to begin addressing your city's problems and issues through citizen-driven innovation. In this section, we have gathered a first collection of concepts, tools, and methods to help you get started with your first experiments.

This is by no means a complete collection, but it should help familiarize you with the basic elements of the Living Lab approach. Once you've started, you'll probably want to learn more, connect with one or more of the many Living Labs active in methodological research on innovation, and contribute your own insights to the growing portfolio of experiences in the online resources that support this guidebook.

The Starter Pack we have assembled consists of a series of different elements:

  • Essential technology paradigms for the Smart City model: Internet of Things, cloud computing, and open data.
  • Three families of methodologies for citizen engagement: idea generation, co-design, and service design.
  • Two types of policy initiative: facilities based on the Innovation hub model and approaches and policy instruments for demand-driven innovation.

Each section is illustrated with cases, mainly from the projects and experiences of ENoLL Living Labs, with links to specific examples.
