Fostering urban-centered innovation.

Summary This paper aims at investigating, through several examples of innovative startups, different categories of Urban-Centered Innovative (UrCI) design solutions as well as the necessity to conduct real life experimentations supported by public and private stakeholders. This research will also shed light on the reasons why some urban-centered innovations are not efficient, and provides as well decision-making elements intended for startups and public administrations in order to improve the efficiency of UrCIs.
