  • Summary

    We unpack the role of sense of place in relation to urban experimentation. We conceptualise urban experimentation as a governance approach to foster and activate innovation capacities of communities and places for climate adaptation and institutional trialling of novel approaches. We focus on an urban living laboratory (ULL) as one specific type of urban experiment that has received increasing attention in European cities recently, and use experimentation in ULL as an example to reconsider a dynamic and pluralistic understanding of place. We find that our case study, BlueCity Lab in Rotterdam, NL provides a space where new place-related narratives of change, novel practices and relations emerge, while being embedded within wider, translocal networks of practice. Backed by these insights, we contend that a translocal, pluralised and dynamic concept of place promises to be a valuable lens in order to understand the impacts, manifestations and appropriate responses to global challenges in everyday life.

  • Global urbanization promises better services, stronger economies, and more connections; it also carries risks and unforeseeable consequences. To deepen our understanding of this complex process and its importance for global sustainability, we need to build interdisciplinary knowledge around a systems approach. Urban Planet takes an integrative look at our urban environment, bringing together scholars from a diverse range of disciplines: from sociology and political science to evolutionary biology, geography, economics and engineering. It includes the perspectives of often neglected voices: architects, journalists, artists and activists. The book provides a much needed cross-scale perspective, connecting challenges and solutions on a local scale with drivers and policy frameworks on a regional and global scale. The authors argue that to overcome the major challenges we are facing, we must embark on a large-scale reinvention of how we live together, grounded in inclusiveness and sustainability. This title is also available Open Access.

  • Summary

    Under uncertainty, policymakers often initiate policy experiments, and policy pilots form a common and important form of policy experimenting. Effective policy pilots may be continued for policy development via scaling-up. However, the empirical evidence on the nature of such pilots and the processes and potential of their scaling-up is lacking. Using a comparative case design this chapter develops a model of policy change and applies it to the study of the design and scaling-up of policy pilots launched to deal with climate risks to the agriculture sector in India. More than two-thirds of India’s cultivable area is rainfed and the Government of India has established many pilots to address risks to agricultural production, especially in rainfed areas. Examining the features of fourteen agriculture policy pilots in India, this chapter asks the question, do the design characteristics of policy pilots influence their scaling-up and policy integration? The analysis reveals that despite their theoretical acknowledgment as an approach that enables higher risk taking and experimentation, in practice the primary contribution of pilots is found to be limited to operating as avenues for periodically updating existing policies and programmes through marginal changes in their current scope.
