Co-creation is a much discussed concept in the fields of urban planning, architecture, urban design and many other fields.
In the HORIZON 2020 project SUNRISE, co-creation is one of the key concepts to develop, implement, assess and facilitate learning about new ways to address common mobility challenges at the neighbourhood level. SUNRISE´s objective is to contribute to sustainable urban development by stimulating innovative, participatory processes and problem solutions in neighbourhoods in the field of new mobility concepts and new forms of mobility. Towards this aim, six cities (Bremen, Budapest, Jerusalem, Malmö, Southend on Sea, Thessaloniki) will foster collaborative processes in specific neighbourhoods as "Neighbourhood Mobility Labs" with the explicit mandate to implement innovative solutions for and with their residents, stakeholders etc.
All SUNRISE activities are structured along the phases of the innovation chain and build upon co-creation. Co-creation is a relatively new approach in participatory mobility planning practice, and calls for a strong and transparent cooperation between various actors from planning start to finish. As with many new concepts, the implementation presents challenges and potentials to actors related to mobility.
This contribution gives an overview of six various co-creation processes for co-identification, co-planning and co- implementing sustainable mobility solutions on the neighbourhood level, and discusses the benefits of co-creation for finding solutions to mobility issues. Main questions are: What is co-creation, and how does this concept relate to "Mobility Labs"? What are potentials and challenges of co-creation? What are advantages and disadvantages of co-creation in finding mobility solutions on the neighbourhood level that foster sustainable modes of transport?
