There is a tendency to believe that urban experiments such as pilots and living labs are central to driving urban transformations, but are there limits to what we can expect from such experiments? How are urban experiments evaluated and what happens after the experiment ends? Do they really have an impact? PhD fellow Veronika Budovska from UiS will present her findings from field work in Trondheim.
