With meaningful design we not only refer to the
design of the physical products, services and
environments, but also to the design of the

those interac-on and inspira-on;
which turns the public space into a living city.

• the challenge to keep Living Labs living is:
– pracGcing a ‘user as co‐creator’ approach
• Co‐creaGon is about parGcipaGon
• Co‐creaGon is about context
– using living methodologies
• to involving acGve users
• to understand social fabrics

16.
• Living labbing enables co‐creaGve pracGces in
RoKerdam and ciGzens shaping their own
surroundings, making and co‐designing the
city of RoKerdam.
• The user‐driven approach, do‐it‐yourself
mindset, and the parGcipatory character
perfectly fit the down‐to‐earth RoKerdam
aotude.
