[Research Contribution] A Strategy for Engaging Stakeholders to Implement Living Labs for Addressing Urban Issues

27 Dec 2025

While many cities worldwide have successfully implemented the Living Lab model as a tool to address urban issues and promote sustainable development, Ho Chi Minh City is facing an urgent need to establish and operate Living Labs in its journey to become a smart and sustainable city. International experience shows that the key factor determining the effectiveness of a Living Lab is the level of engagement and cooperation among its stakeholders. Based on a qualitative approach, this paper by researchers from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) synthesizes the theoretical framework for stakeholder engagement and analyzes leading Living Lab models in Europe and Asia that share similarities with the context of Ho Chi Minh City. From this analysis, the authors propose implications for solutions, methods, and action plans to effectively connect stakeholders, contributing to solving urban problems and fostering the development of a smart and sustainable city.
