Description succincte (Anglais)

In the last decade theories of how to understand transdisciplinary processes have been developed as weil as principles and methods of how scientists and representatives ofthe private and public sector, NGOs and community associations can co-produce knowledge. The principles and methods were mainly developed from the perspectives of those who Iead such processes. Little is known about how the participating Stakeholders perceive and value such processes. For urban development projects, the engagement of stakeholders and the fair treatment of their diverse interests are crucial for sustainable outcomes. A better understanding of stakeholders' motivations, interests, values and goals is thus key to improve the design of transdisciplinary urban development projects. Using two on-going transdisciplinary urban development projects in Sweden and in Switzerland as case studies, we will: 1) ldentify and analyse stakeholders' interests, values and goals to participate in transdisciplinary urban development projects 2) Jointly develop criteria for successful transdisciplinary urban development projects with representatives of the different stakeholder groups 3) Jointly review and improve the current design principles for transdisciplinary processes with a focus on stakeholder perspectives
