Mistra SAMS Kitchen Talks: Strategic planning in times of experimental governance – on institutional conditions and capacities

Using theories on experimental governance and institutional capacity, we explore how experimental settings with transformative ambitions (such as Mistra SAMS) relate to and influence institutional contexts and established planning roles and capacities. This framework is applied to study the relationships and linkages between (1) a situated “living lab” designed to test solutions for sustainable and socially just mobility and accessibility in a semi-urban neighborhood in Stockholm, (2) the institutionalized, “every-day” strategic and operative planning and policy making framework and processes of local and regional authorities, and (3) how these relationships link to ambitions of transformative climate governance.
