Purpose

This paper aims to share the experience of a collaborative platform for social innovation (SI) in urban governance in Brussels (Belgium) and to formulate recommendations for future initiatives.

Design/methodology/approach

The publicly funded collaborative platform “Brussels by us”, which aimed to improve the quality of life in specific neighbourhoods in Brussels (Belgium), is presented as a case study for SI in urban governance. The case study is detailed according to four dimensions based on the SI and living lab literature.

Findings

While the initiative appeared to be a successful exploration platform for collaborative urban governance, it did not evolve into concrete experimentation nor implementation of the solutions. Possible explanations and recommendations are formulated.

Research limitations/implications

The findings of this paper are based on the experience of a one-year initiative. The results should be completed by similar case studies of longitudinal initiatives, and with other levels of implementation such as experimentation and concrete implementation of solutions.

Originality/value

This paper presents a concrete case study of a collaborative platform implemented in a specific neighbourhood in Brussels (Belgium). Its digital and offline approach can help other practitioners, scholars and public institutions to experiment with the living lab methodology for the co-ideation of solution in urban governance. The four-dimensional framework presented in the study can provide future initiatives with a structured reporting and analysis framework, unifying and strengthening know-how in the domain of SI.

设计/方法/方法

公共资助的合作平台“Brussels by us”旨在提高布鲁塞尔（比利时）特定社区的生活质量，作为 SI 在城市治理中的案例研究。案例研究根据基于 SI 和生活实验室文献的四个维度进行了详细说明。

发现

虽然该倡议似乎是一个成功的城市协同治理探索平台，但它并没有演变成具体的实验或解决方案的实施。制定了可能的解释和建议。

研究限制/影响

本文的调查结果基于为期一年的计划的经验。结果应通过纵向举措的类似案例研究以及其他实施水平（如试验和解决方案的具体实施）来完成。

原创性/价值

本文介绍了在布鲁塞尔（比利时）特定社区实施的协作平台的具体案例研究。它的数字化和线下方法可以帮助其他从业者、学者和公共机构试验生活实验室方法，以共同构思城市治理中的解决方案。研究中提出的四维框架可以为未来的计划提供结构化的报告和分析框架，统一和加强 SI 领域的专业知识。
