Abstract

The urban lab is an experimental governance approach for the co-creation of innovative solutions to urban challenges, such as climate change. However, urban lab scholarship has overlooked lab formation as a distinct process and is almost exclusively based on European cases. Therefore, little is known about the role of context conditions for lab formation in general and beyond Europe in particular. To address these gaps, this paper inductively analyses urban lab formation in five cities in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, develops a framework for the comparative analysis of lab formation challenges, and asks: What do the challenges encountered and the solutions developed during lab formation in these cities tell us about the context dependence of the urban lab approach and what are the implications for its potential beyond Europe? Comparing insights from Europe to the findings from Latin America, the paper answers these questions and identifies future research questions.

欧洲以外的城市实验室：拉丁美洲五个城市的实验性气候治理的形成和背景

城市实验室是一种实验性治理方法，用于共同创造应对气候变化等城市挑战的创新解决方案。然而，城市实验室的学术研究忽视了实验室的形成这一独特过程，而且几乎都是基于欧洲的案例。因此，人们对环境条件在实验室形成过程中的作用知之甚少，尤其是在欧洲以外地区。为了填补这些空白，本文对阿根廷、巴西和墨西哥五个城市的城市实验室形成进行了归纳分析，为实验室形成面临的挑战制定了一个比较分析框架，并提出了以下问题：这些城市在实验室组建过程中遇到的挑战和制定的解决方案对城市实验室方法的环境依赖性有何启示，对其在欧洲以外的潜力有何影响？通过比较欧洲和拉丁美洲的研究成果，本文回答了这些问题，并确定了未来的研究课题。

期刊介绍： Environment and Urbanization aims to provide an effective means for the exchange of research findings, ideas and information in the fields of human settlements and environment among researchers, activists and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in low- and middle-income nations and between these and researchers, international agency staff, students and teachers in high-income nations. Most of the papers it publishes are written by authors from Africa, Asia and Latin America. Papers may be submitted in French, Spanish or Portuguese, as well as English - and if accepted for publication, the journal arranges for their translation into English. The journal is also unusual in the proportion of its papers that are written by practitioners.
