abstract: Urban Living Labs (ULLs) have become a popular way for cities to search for urban sustainability, i.e. to combine economic prosperity, social cohesion, and environmental sustainability. While the normalisation of ULLs in cities is well evident, a lack of understanding in the nature and purpose of ULLs leaves open many challenges yet to be overcome. One particular challenge is about the triadic relationship between funding, stakeholder roles and outcomes in ULLs and their potential to contribute to transformative changes. By combining a historical literature review with a comparative case study to 3 ULLs in the city of Groningen, this study shows that opportunity lies within trust building among urban stakeholders to contribute to transformative changes. Thereby, the study confirms and adds to current theoretical positions taken about how to overcome issues regarding impact creation, and provides evidence for five ways to start trust building in practise.
