| dc.description.abstract | This study assessed the contribution of Living Labs to urban sustainability in Portugal, focusing on seven pilot projects funded through Call#4 of the Environment Programme under the EEA Grants 2014–2021. The methodology combined document analysis, quantitative indicators of environmental, social, and economic performance, interviews with project stakeholders, and participatory observation at knowledge-sharing events. The results demonstrated that Living Labs operate as collaborative innovation platforms capable of testing practical solutions in real-life contexts. Environmental impacts included significant reductions in CO₂ emissions, improvements in energy efficiency, the creation of renewable energy communities, and the implementation of sustainable mobility solutions. In the social dimension, strong community engagement was observed through educational and awareness-raising activities, which fostered social acceptance and continuity of initiatives. The economic dimension, although less prominent, produced outcomes such as job creation, support for startups, and the development of new digital platforms for urban management. The analysis of contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) revealed that the most significant impacts were related to SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 17 (Partnerships). These results reflect the multidimensional nature of the projects and their alignment with strategic sustainability priorities. Key success factors identified across the Living Labs included the institutional diversity of partnerships, the integration of smart technologies, and active community involvement. These elements proved critical in fostering innovation, adaptability, and local ownership of the initiatives. However, reliance on external funding and the heterogeneity of results among projects emerged as challenges to long-term continuity and replicability of tested solutions. Our findings suggest that Living Labs significantly contribute to promoting more resilient and sustainable cities, reinforcing participatory innovation as a strategic tool for urban transformation. This study recommends expanding these experiences to other territories, fostering scalability and integration into long-term public policies. | en |
