URBANE D2.1 - Validation report of Lighthouse LLs Implementation

Deliverable 2.1 contributes in particular to the achievement of objective 2. It documents the work performed in Task 2.1 LLs Management and Validation that foresees the definition of the management process and a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the implemented solutions to evaluate and validate the operational effectiveness, as well as the environmental, economic and societal sustainability of the innovative measures within the LLs. It also contributes to identify the barriers to uptake and means to maximize the transferability potential of the developed last mile solutions. Based on their unique visions and challenges, each Lighthouse Living Lab defined specific goals and real-world use cases to foster collaboration among diverse stakeholders in developing innovative solutions. During their implementation a validation methodology based on the impact assessment methodology developed in task 3.2 has been identified. After that, the final qualitative and quantitative values of the impact and process evaluation at pilot sites were reported in a dedicated sub-chapter for each Living Lab. Additionally, findings and evaluation results across LLs were analysed and compared through SEAMLESS framework providing anoverview of the barriers to and possibilities for the implementation of the innovations. Finally, the key lessons learned and recommendations for the replication of the solutions and Living Lab experience were reported in the last chapter to transfer them to Wave 2 LLs and Follower cities.
