“…Ecosystem thinking has been associated with richness and diversity of actors, their differentiated roles, digitalization, open innovation, and greater importance of market forces relative to public sector initiatives (Oh et al, 2016). In local and regional governance, the spread of ecosystem thinking has, for example, shifted the focus of innovation policies from initiation, coordination, and funding of clusters to organizing and facilitating co-creation processes and evolving collaboration on innovation platforms (Sotarauta & Suvinen, 2019, p. 1761). Ecosystem thinking and platforms as focal points of ecosystems thus bring new elements to city governments’ relations to local and extra-local businesses.…”

“…In the same vein, city governments have started to utilize platforms to create new business opportunities and service innovations (Haveri & Anttiroiko, 2021, pp. 6, 8), offer businesses opportunities to test new solutions, and link local businesses to main public actors and corporations in relevant fields (Sotarauta & Suvinen, 2019, p. 1760).…”

“…During the last decade, platforms emerged as a novel organizational solution for utilizing citizens’ ideas, supporting participation, increasing co-creation, and democratizing innovation. Platform refers to a socio-technical space that provides context and architecture for bringing different groups and organizations together to identify shared interests, find new opportunities for cooperation, and to create and exchange value in new ways (Hodson et al, 2021, p. 3; Sotarauta & Suvinen, 2019). Beside actors, platforms bring together various kinds of resources and provide tools for processing and organizing them (Thomas et al, 2014, p. 202).…”

“…At that time platforms emerged also in public governance (Ansell & Gash, 2018, p. 16). Platforms have become particularly popular in local governance, especially in promoting innovation (Borghys et al, 2020; Sotarauta & Suvinen, 2019, p. 1753). There is, however, limited research on the use and impact of platforms in public governance (Ansell & Gash, 2018; Yu et al, 2019).…”

This article analyses the dynamics of local platform governance with special regard to the roles and relations of city governments, citizens, and local businesses. We approach the subject through five Finnish platforms in which city governments are actively involved. This multiple case study shows that city governments tend to adopt a facilitative and enabling role on the platforms. They seek to create value by utilizing skills, knowledge, and resources of local communities in different kinds of co-creation processes. Local platform governance brings added value to innovation and urban vitality by utilizing multiple roles of citizens, businesses, and other local stakeholders.

“…In the later stages of industrialization, human material levels are mainly satisfied. The restoration of the ecological environment becomes a new pursuit of human quality of life, and innovation is mainly applied in the field of ecological environment restoration (Chen 2015;Li et al 2019a;Sotarauta and Suvinen 2019).…”

The simple evidence of global temperature rises, changing rainfall patterns and more frequent or extreme weather events are indisputable and will severely impact communities and society as a whole. Conventional strategies and incremental adaptation are not sufficient to address climate risks and sustainability challenges, therefore scholarly attention has shifted to the concept of transformation. A major driver of deliberate transformative responses are bottom-up processes of communities and citizen collectives, able to take the lead. An increasing and wide variety of grassroots community initiatives is emerging, responding to climate risks and sustainability challenges. These bottom-up processes require agents’ capacities to implement place-based transformative solutions aligned with climate goals in different contexts.Based on a literature review and an analysis of online cases the research provides insights into strategies of community initiatives and how their practices illustrate different dimensions of transformative adaptation. Key conditions for transformative adaptation by communities turn out to be capacity-building, leadership, different forms of scaling, and an inclusive, enabling governance. Community initiatives provide an entry point for new novelties and strategies in support of radical transformative ideas. While these initiatives are place-based, there is the need to diffuse and embed these novelties in wider scales to purposely increase their transformative societal impact.
