Explore the evolution of an emerging Living Lab through Cedric Routier's monograph, focusing on visions and key topics from 2009 to 2011. Trace the development from initial partnerships to the establishment of the "Humanicité" concept, encompassing sustainability, innovation, and inclusive urban development. Delve into the governance processes, stakeholder involvement, and the evolution of the LLab's role in promoting well-being and quality of life in a designated physical space. Reflect on the challenges and opportunities for future funding, governance models, and the transferability of insights from this case study for other Living Labs.

Social Dynamics of an emerging Living Lab : sketch of a monography Cedric Routier – HaDePaS cedric.routier@icl-lille.fr
Today’s purpose • Through the successive visions of thisemerging LL, give a sketch of the wholeprocess • Because of the timing: focus is made on visions expressed and a (too) brief look at main topics and theirevolution
A set of data • Two mains sources • 3 years of personal, institutional and organizational records (2009-2011; 63 documents) from a project’s manager • Own subjective experience of the LL project
Successive steps : 2009 • Context : • « grand emprunt / Investissements d’Avenir » : french public fundingunderSarkozy’sgovernment • « éco-quartiers » : vision of citiessustainabledevelopment Individualscale Public spaces Density, diversity, citizenship • Aging : future demographical changes in french population and hence, health & caring system
Successive steps : 2009 • First vision : • PartnershipbetweenUniversity and a realtycompany : based on social needs and shared values • 2 Major trends : sustainabledevelopment and housing innovation
Successive steps : 2010 • Context : • Same public funding (mostnotbaly : point 5) • First mention of the Llab’s concept: applied to the whole area (« Humanicité ») • Trends : • « Intense » cities and sustainabledevelopment • And… Llab (urban, economical & social development) Disabilities, aging and citizenship of vulnerable people Pedagogic aspects
Successive steps : 2010 • 7 (!) visions/definitionsfound
Successive steps : 2010 • Main lines • A variable mention of stakeholdersamong visions • Visions of a more and more political/territorial and urbanistic nature • A concern : welcomedisabled peoples withoutlimiting a sharedway of living to them (avoid a « ghetto » stigma) • LLAb as a sustainable and urbandevelopmenttool • Soft emergence of the governancetopic… • ...withdifferent commissions identified (at least 4, withdifferentstakeholders)… • … with an evolutionfrom a democratic, then more managerial, and thenagain more co-elaborativeview of the area governance
Successive steps : 2010 • Main lines • Simultaneously, emergence of the « area / Llab » distinction • « The » Llab • An animation and developmenttool, distinct from the area • A name : « the Humanicité workshops » • A unifyingtheme : « accessibility » (conjunction of all trends + different acceptions) • A place…yet to bediscussed
Successive steps : 2011 • « Accessibility » topicstrenghtened… • …through a co-elaborativeseminar (extended set of stakeholders) • If « official » visions are expressed… (tools, governance, press) • …interestingconcernsremain : • Is thereonlyco-elaboration to a Llab ? • Animation and roles of stakeholders : stand-by ? • Name, web links, physicalspace : unclear • A conceptualized vision (privateagency) ruled out
Successive steps : 2011 • Hence : seriousconcernsadressed in the end: • Should a privatepartnerrule and manage the Llab ? • Should the « disability, aging and citizenship » topicbestrengthened ? • Or should one capitalise on results of the « accessibilityseminar » ? • Atthis stage : • Second option chosen as the context of LLab • Third option isre-asserted as its main topic (area animation ; well-being and quality of life => « values ») • A physicalspaceischosen (heart of the area)
Whatweretain • As an ANT approachmightguess : • any new set of actors, social trend and governance mode leads to a new definition/vision of the LL • In return, any new vision subsequentlycristallize a temporary network… • So : • local details vs. global process… • …or global vision embedded in any set of local details ?
A set of questions… for the future • Funding and governanceoftenremainedunclear / unresolved • Is there a generic/transferable model : • of emergence, • of building • of governance • and of business for living labs ?
