Abstract
Transport planning is dominated by a pro-growth narrative. This is problematic since unlimited growth is not possible according to some academics (Lamker and Schulze Dieckhoff, 2022). This study takes the urban living lab cycling route Dalfsen – Zwolle to link the use of living labs to achieving a clumsy mobility solution. Urban living labs are a tool in which the urban environment is used to experiment collaborate and learn (Neef et al., 2017; Rădulescu et al., 2022; Scholl and Kraker, 2021; Voorwinden et al., 2023). Clumsy mobility solutions is a concept developed by Ferreira and Von Schönfeld (2022) to counter the dominance of growth in transport planning. This is achieved through diversifying the worldviews involved in transport planning practices. Urban living labs and clumsy mobility solutions share similar goals with regard to sustainability and a diverse set of stakeholders. This study uses a qualitative research approach. Four semi-structured interviews were conducted with the four main stakeholders of the living lab Dalfsen – Zwolle. The data should reveal what worldviews were present in the living lab and how the process went. It was found that three of the four worldviews where represented in the Dalfsen – Zwolle living lab. However, there was little discussion between the stakeholders indicating a lack of diversity in worldviews. The case of Dalfsen – Zwolle shows that an urban living lab does not automatically lead to a clumsy mobility solution. It is suggested that organisers of future living labs deliberately seek stakeholder with opposing worldviews to participate in the project.
