Veronika Zavratnik, Argene Superina, Emilija Stojmenova Duh · 2019 · Sustainability

Summary. Living Labs—participatory spaces for co-creating innovation—offer rural areas a framework for sustainable development and smart village initiatives. The paper argues that Living Labs can bridge rural-urban opportunity gaps, drive digital transformation, support circular economy practices, and foster local self-sufficiency. Community engagement and social change emerge as essential elements for enabling sustainable rural living through these collaborative innovation environments.
