The paper, published in July 2024, discusses the application of an Urban Living Lab methodological framework for stakeholder engagement and co-design of Circular Economy project proposals at the urban level. The paper highlights the need for further research on factors influencing ULLs and their impact on CE transitions. It also suggests exploring contextual and operational aspects, gender issues, and participation in societal transitions. The main challenge identified is the practical implementation of co-designed projects, emphasizing the importance of funding and research support.
