Living Lab in Irkutsk

Abstract

Based on the comparative analysis of Living Labs already operating in Europe and Russia, a mechanism of the Living Lab in the Pervomaysky District of Irkutsk is being developed. The Living Lab will open in the spring of 2022. Its main goal is to initiate a dialogue between the residents, authorities, investors and experts and to organize a permanent cooperation mechanism for all stakeholders. The purpose of the Living Lab is to identify the possibility of revitalizing the pedestrian boulevard as a linking space between the Pervomaisky and Universitetsky districts on the basis of the analysis of the use of public spaces of the district and the needs of the residents.
