“…An increasing number of contributors highlight the importance of co-creating knowledge and cooperation between actors from public and private sectors, community and academia to initiate transformative change in urban contexts [21,30,31]. However, we agree with Smeds and Acuto [32], who point out that cities cannot 'save the planet' alone.…”

Urban Resilience in Action: the Resilient Melbourne Strategy as Transformative Urban Innovation Policy?

More and more cities are developing strategies and implementing actions to increase their resilience to a diversity of environmental, social and economic challenges. International networks such as 100 Resilient Cities, established by the Rockefeller Foundation, are supporting cities to find and implement solutions to 'shocks and stresses.' This new approach to urban governance, often initiated by philanthropic organizations, is debated. On the one hand, these initiatives are celebrated as catalysts for transformational change through 'collaboration' and 'co-design' in contexts such as mobility, energy, green space or housing. On the other hand, urban resilience initiatives have been criticized for prioritizing private sector agendas and top-down approaches and hollowing out public sector tasks and democratic participation. However, little is known how urban resilience strategies are actually implemented in practice. Embedded action research on the implementation of the Resilient Melbourne strategy provides the opportunity to have a closer look at this highly contested topic. This paper provides first insights into the research project Urban Resilience in Action, using the Resilient Melbourne strategy to assess the implementation of selected actions. It shows that a reconceptualization and new analytical dimensions are needed to understand urban resilience as an urban innovation strategy.

“…Similarly, transforming the conditions that influence health requires broad-based collaborative partnerships among practitioners, researchers, and beneficiaries. In this sense, the approach has laid foundations for "transformative reflexivity" in transdisciplinary research as described by Kindon [90] (p. 264) "in which both researcher and researched reflect on their (mis)understandings and negotiated the meanings of information generated together" [28]. During the workshop, construction and negotiation of meaning became evident such as defining accessibility in terms of safety rather than in terms of distance by the participants before exploring the issues further.…”

Abstract:The transformation of cities towards healthy urban living environments for all is a challenge that needs to be addressed through collaboration of all relevant sectors in a transdisciplinary research processes. This paper reports on the design and showcase implementation of a methodological approach, named Interactive Spatial Understanding Support System (ISUSS), that is intended to support interactive knowledge co-production and integration among practitioners and researcher in a specific local context. The approach involves the combined use of interactive maps on a MapTable and a rich picture. The goal is to stimulate, articulate and map stakeholders' knowledge on environmental health issues to come to a shared problem understanding. Drawing on the rich seam of data gathered over the reflexive engagement with the participants in Dortmund, Germany, we explored incidences of a transdisciplinary process. Findings suggest that the approach has the potential to encourage communication and social learning geared towards a shared understanding of the holistic problem situation. Whilst locally embedded spatial knowledge was shared using interactive maps on the MapTable, the rich picture elicited issues linked to wider geographical scale as well as non-spatial drivers. The paper concludes discussing research needs to further explore the approach among various other groups, including citizens.

“…Knowledge co-production and integration implies a process where knowledge is produced and used through interaction among people with different perspectives and background through cooperative endeavours and mutual learning (Fazey et al, 2013). Various approaches have been used in participatory research to involve stakeholders in the process of knowledge co-production, such as World-Café, Delphi discussion, forecasting, backcasting (Preller et al, 2017). Similarly, various tools and methods are proposed for eliciting and capturing knowledge and perspectives such as sketch mapping, mental modelling, web-based mapping, mind mapping, photo mapping, interactive mapping (Andrienko et al, 2007;Cadag & Gaillard, 2012;Dennis et al, 2009).…”

Social learning and knowledge co-production Social learning is described as learning in and with social groups through interaction (Siebenhüner, 2005), which occurs when participants share their experiences, ideas and environment with others during a group activity (Armitage et al., 2008). It is a re-iterative process of assimilation through the interpretation of issues in terms of existing mental models and accommodation through changing of the mental models to make sense of the issues. When participants engage in deliberation within a collaborative dialogue, they learn as individuals and as a group about the problem, their goals, perspectives of other The key process components include: facilitation, diversity of participants and a democratic structure (Daniels & Walker, 2001; Mostert et al., 2007). Skilled facilitation is a prerequisite of any participatory process as a facilitator ensures that all participants feel comfortable to share their ideas, remain focussed to the objective of the task and prevent domination of one participant (Daniels & Walker, 2001; Johnson et al., 2012). Having a diverse group of participants ensures that greater breadth of worldviews, mental models and experiences are included in the process (Jones et al., 2011; Rinner, 2001). A democratic structure Researchers have now started to shift their focus from user-friendliness to the usefulness of such tools on improving the quality of the planning practice. Te Brommelstroet (2017) argues that user-friendly PSS are means rather than a goal and suggests to focus on the actual goal of improving the quality of planning practice. Traditionally, the added value of these tools was seen as improving the outcome of the process. However, in the last decades, the focus of most researchers have shifted towards improving the planning process and therefore,  How can approaches of interactive map-based support systems support social learning and knowledge co-production processes? Research methodology In this study a sociotechnical view has been adopted to explore the usefulness of interactive map-based support systems for engendering social learning and knowledge co-production. A sociotechnical view draws on design research * This chapter is based on the article:
