Epistemic justice in urban living labs
This article explores the potential for just knowledge production in Urban Living Labs (ULLs) by foregrounding epistemic justice. Drawing on autoethnographic and ethnographic methods, it examines how testimonial and hermeneutical injustices shape the formation, implementation, and dissemination phases of EU-funded, research-led ULLs. Findings show that funding structures, academic framings, and dissemination formats constrain the inclusion and re…
Urban living labs as cracks, not doors
Urban Living Labs (ULLs) are widely promoted as experimental spaces for urban innovation, particularly in EU policy contexts. Yet their design is often shaped by current institutional logics, EU-funding structures, and sector-specific constraints, especially in transport, a domain marked by technical path dependencies and dominant narratives of efficiency and optimization. These conditions risk narrowing experimentation. This Viewpoint is written…
A gender perspective on bicycle-powered mobility visions
This paper uses a gender lens to analyse how bicycle-powered mobility futures can be articulated as counter-hegemonic alternatives to automobility. Drawing on interviews with transport professionals and activists, we interpret participants’ visions as efforts to rearticulate dominant understandings of everyday life, space, and time. Even though automobility continues to structure the horizon, we find that it is being contested as a hegemonic form…
Organising integrated urban mobility
Multimodal integration is currently being discussed as a way to challenge the dominance of automobility by providing attractive alternatives to private car ownership. Combining critical organisation studies with a mobilities perspective, this article maps actions taken towards integrated urban mobility in two Swedish cities over the course of a year and explores how these actions shape the roles and identities of the actors involved. The results …
Productive resistance in public sector innovation – introducing social impact bonds in Swedish local government
This article contributes to debates on public sector innovation by empirically analysing and conceptually unpacking organizational resistance. It is based on research following the attempts to launch a particular public sector innovation, Social Impact Bonds (SIB), in Swedish local government. Drawing on the literature on productive resistance, the analysis shows how a range of different actors, from consultants and investors to local civil serva…
Promoting public sector innovation
A strong and prevailing innovation imperative is sweeping across the public sector and despite a growing literature on public sector innovation (PSI), the actors driving these processes tend to end up in the background of analysis. Based in an analytical framework of narrative theory and organization studies, and the efforts to introduce Social Impact Bonds (SIB) in Sweden as empirical case, the aim of this article is to unpack and analyze the ne…
From senses to sensors
Cars are nowadays being programmed to learn how to drive themselves. While autonomous cars are often portrayed as the next step in the auto-motive industry, they have already begun roaming the streets in some US cities. Building on a growing body of critical scholarship on the development of autonomous cars, we explore what machine learning is in open environments like cities by juxtaposing this to the field of mobilities studies. We do so by rev…
Contested values in bike-sharing mobilities – A case study from Sweden
The aim of this paper is to analyse the type of mobilities and subjects that are being promoted and constituted through bike-sharing systems. This is done through an analysis of the bike-sharing system in the city of Lund in Sweden. The analysis utilises Bacchi's What is the Problem Represented to be? framework and develops it through adding a spatial perspective. Departing from a critical velomobilities perspective, we argue that urban transport…
Local Autonomy in Temporary Organizations
Local actors are to an increasing extent engaging in national and European Union (EU)–based development and sustainability agendas. These ventures often materialize in the form of temporary organizations such as pilots and projects. This article contributes to debates on project-based, experimental and temporary organizations by unpacking the organizational architecture of pilots and analyzing how the democratic autonomy of local public actors is…
Deconstructing accessibility - discursive barriers for increased cycling in Sweden
Society’s planning for and dependence on automobility has created several major problems and calls for a shift away from car-based mobility are proliferating. There is a growing recognition of the positive effects of cycling and modal shares for cycling are on the rise in cities. Nevertheless, bicycling is still marginalised in national transport policies. In Sweden, cycling shares are decreasing at a national level, and to steer towards increase…
Conceptualizing Testbed Planning
Urban planning is, in many countries, increasingly becoming intertwined with local climate ambitions, investments in urban attractiveness and “smart city” innovation measures. In the intersection between these trends, urban experimentation has developed as a process where actors are granted action space to test innovations in a collaborative setting. One arena for urban experimentation is urban testbeds. Testbeds are sites of urban development, i…
Governing smart mobility
This article analyzes administrative practices in relation to the emergence of novel technologies. “Smart mobility” is an umbrella term used to denote the potentially disruptive changes in the transport sector relating to automatization, digitalization, and the platform economy. While this development is largely driven by industry, public administrations are engaging in a number of processes where they seek to obtain knowledge while regulating th…
Experimental governance
Innovations in urban governance such as Urban Living Labs (ULL) are expected to accelerate the transition towards more sustainable and climate-resilient cities. This article reviews different ULL across Europe and explores the role and potential capacity of municipalities in the development of and/or facilitation of ULL as a form of experimental governance. It focuses on the role of the public sector in the multi-actor collaborations that often c…
Re-compartmentalizing local policies? The translation and mediation of European structural funds in Sweden
The local governments of EU member countries are attracted to the possibility of receiving EU funding. However, as the governance structures of EU funds are complex and dynamic, municipalities are increasingly drawing on the knowledge and resources of ‘EU experts’ who mediate and provide project support. This article contributes to our understanding of how EU cohesion policy is translated through EU projects, with a specific focus on the processe…
Problematisations of Progress and Diversity in Visionary Planning
The aim of this paper is to contribute to studies of urban renewal by taking a step back in time to the years prior to urban regeneration and investigating the problem formulations developed during the crises years in Malmö, Sweden. Drawing on Carol Bacchi's (2010) methodological tool 'What is the problem analysis', this paper explores the problem formulations proceeding Malmö's attempts of urban regeneration, with specific regard to the role of …
