“…Related to the first potential outcome, the IAD approach reveals that the experiment allowed the broadening of the profile of audiences and scope to co-create. Figure 7 classifies the profiles of the 738 participants registered, following the approach of the Quintuple Helix Innovation Model [79,80]. Here, it can be observed that almost half of the participant organizations were small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and self-employed professionals, accounting for 47% of the participants.…”

The introduction of forests in cities has been an observable trend in recent years, with planned forest management projects proliferating around the world. The fact that many urban forests in the public space are traditionally managed by top-down bureaucratic procedures and guided by expert knowledge raises questions about whether green areas should follow the same management approach as other urban infrastructures, such as mobility infrastructures, or whether they should explore a collaborative approach designed to engage diverse stakeholders. This article examines the challenges of innovating in urban forests, changing the management rules that may limit participatory and deliberative processes to support decision-making. In particular, we analyzed how introducing a co-creation stage impacted the traditional competitive public tender procedure in the Madrid Metropolitan Forest project, using the Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework. Results showed that the costs and benefits of innovation differ among involved actors, generating unintended deterrent effects for experimentation. To mitigate these decoupling effects, we suggest a strategic design of working rules and updating the shared incentive to move from a competitive and transactional logic to a more collaborative and co-creative form of connection.

“…The study has been conducted by five researchers involved in the implementation of the CG project between May 2018 and July 2019, and includes the perspectives of an external observer. The discussion has received feedback from several stakeholders from the EU's EIT Climate-KIC Madrid Deep Demonstration Platform (MDD) [4,15], amplifying the creative potential of the aforementioned case study [16]. The participants of this research project have reviewed and validated the final version of this paper.…”

“…From then on, the programme has invested more than EUR 926 million in one hundred thirty-six projects [3]: one hundred and ten NBS-related projects, seventeen GI projects and nine linked to both (Appendix A). These projects explore and validate their direct benefits such as CO 2 compensation, or regulation of urban microclimates, as well as indirect benefits such as contributing to health, well-being, and job creation, among others [4]. These projects are characterised by their ability to integrate multiple stakeholders, as well as integrate knowledge from multiple disciplines, based on local contexts [5].…”

“…Following this social trend, the New European Bauhaus (NEB) was created in September 2020 to boost the cultural dimension of the sustainable transformation of cities and towns across Europe [7]. Under the principles of sustainability, inclusion, and beauty [8], the program promotes the production of transdisciplinary and creative knowledge through co-creation processes [8] designed to strengthen social cohesion and community engagement, cultural values associated with nature, their potential for education and interpretation, as well as the capacity to co-create collective narratives to raise awareness about climate change [4,5,9].…”

“…Knowledge production has been approached through different methodological models in the scientific literature of social innovation. Elias Carayannis's model synthesizes the interaction among education, political, economic, environmental, media-based and culturebased systems in the Quintuple Helix Innovation Model (QHIM) [4,[10][11][12]; on the other hand, Ezio Manzini proposes the entanglement of two types of agents-referred to as designersproviding either expert or diffuse knowledge [13]. However, these theoretical models are based on linear knowledge transfers (synergies and complementarities), while not sufficiently depicting alternative or discontinuous knowledge flows among (un)conventional actors and organisations within the ecosystem.…”

NBS provides the technical basis for adaptation to climate change, and co-creation is the vehicle for the co-production of knowledge and innovation, both forming a strong binomial for the UE Green Infrastructures Strategy. Nonetheless, one of the main challenges for the implementation of effective co-creation strategies is the incorporation of knowledge from diverse social systems. Knowledge production has been approached through different methodological models, such as the quintuple helix innovation by Carayannis, or the diffuse/expert knowledge model by Manzini. These theoretical models are based on linear knowledge transfers, without sufficiently depicting alternative knowledge flows among (un)conventional actors. In view of these limitations, the research proposes a third strategy: the KREBS cycle of creativity defined by Oxman is a conceptual map capable of describing knowledge transfers across the four modalities of human creativity (i.e., science, engineering, design, and art). Providing sufficient “creative energy” in a co-creation process would guarantee the successful production of knowledge. Thus, the research seeks to illuminate different co-creation strategies to promote “creative energy” in the design of the Cyborg Garden (CG) in Madrid, giving a novel application to Oxman’s methodological framework based on the Carayannis’s and Manzini’s models.
