Wonderland is leading the development of Urban Living Labs across POSEIDON’s six participating cities. This work draws on our longstanding knowledge of PEDs, energy equity, and participatory governance. Our expertise in organizing inclusive workshops and fostering cross-sector dialogue is central to how we design these Labs: we create spaces where municipalities, citizens, and technical experts can engage with one another meaningfully.

We also integrate storytelling and artistic practices as vital tools for surfacing community narratives and translating complex challenges into shared understanding. Each Urban Living Lab will be tailored to the needs of its local context, with curated content and formats designed in collaboration with local actors.
In Marseille, we focused on identifying social vulnerabilities in our municipalities, and exploring how PED tools can be applied to address them. Through hands-on workshops conducted by Wonderland, local actors reflected on issues like energy poverty, access, and inclusion. We also collaborated closely with municipal representatives to draft the social programming framework for the POSEIDON cities, ensuring the content responds directly to the distinct challenges each municipality faces.
