Open Urban Innovation Ecosystems - Integration of Data, Services, and Stakeholders: Discussion Paper

This paper argues for a broader understanding of the role of integration within urban system development ranging from technical to collaboration and governance challenges. It is intended to support an evolution from specific urban data platforms to broader cross-stakeholder integrative urban innovation ecosystems. This fulfils a need arising from the design and development of complex multi-stakeholder urban transitions. These are the next steps to move from smaller demonstration projects and open data pilots to large-scale deployment. They focus on long-term impacts and sustainability of urban and governance interventions. Topics are multi-stakeholder innovation, Enterprise Architecture, Open Innovation, Living Labs, multi-stakeholder innovation, building local partnerships, developing technical expertise, rolling out infrastructure, planning support, stakeholder and citizen engagement, partnerships, contractual needs, new business models, and the challenges associated with them within sustainable city development and evolution.
