“…To address the problem, the European Commission began to promote the concept of sustainable urban mobility plans (SUMPs) as an integrated planning approach that addresses all modes and forms of transport in cities and their surrounding areas. This concept has also been transferred to areas smaller than cities, like neighbourhoods (Val & de la Cruz, 2020) or university campuses. These represent an ecosystem, that can be external or fully embedded in an urban context.…”

PurposeSustainability is a pressing challenge of governance and public financial management. One key element of sustainable governance is the role of citizens. Participatory budgeting (PB) is a participatory tool with which citizens can influence public administration. PB is a democratic process that grants people real power over real money and it has spread around the world. This special issue explores the role of PB in the context of sustainable governance. In this editorial, the authors aim to approach PB as a form of sustainable governance.Design/methodology/approachIn this editorial, the authors collaborate in the analysis of how PB is implicated in the public management of complex social, economic and ecological issues. The authors identify key dimensions of internal and external sustainability based on prior research. The authors approach these dimensions as an internal–external nexus of sustainable governance in which organizational and financial sustainability are the internal dimensions and socio-political and environmental sustainability are the external dimensions.FindingsEven though PB can be seen as one tool for citizen participation, it has the potential to foster sustainability in multiple ways. PB, as a form of sustainable governance, requires a financially and administratively sustainable organizational process that results in the institutionalization of PB. It also includes thorough consideration of socio-political and environmental sustainability impacts of PB.Originality/valueAcademics are actively studying PB from various perspectives. However, most of this work has approached PB from the viewpoints of design and results of PB, and less is known about its institutional settings. PB has not yet been adequately studied in the context of sustainability, and there is a need to scrutinize PB as a form of sustainable governance.

“…Our results demonstrated that this knowledge can be effectively collected through collaborative design processes and user involvement throughout the development and implementation process, such as via cocreation processes, design competitions, and financial ownership. Such collaborative processes may lead to more sustainable solutions in the local context [81]. Although collaborative design processes are expected to enhance user experiences, they are also challenging in terms of resources, the knowledge of how to design the process, the lack of public regulations of open data sharing and funding to encourage open innovation and MaaS processes, and the limited imaginations of people regarding disruptive mobility innovations [38,82].…”

“…Further, the research focused on local mobility services in Austria. According to Kindhäuser [36], such projects must be investigated within their political, legal, and cultural context to derive findings that are usually not transferable to other political, legal, and cultural contexts [81].…”

There is growing interest in the role of integrated mobility services in successfully transforming mobility systems by improving alternatives to individual motorised transport and thus contributing to a reduction in negative impacts on nature and society. This paper analyses the conditions for the successful implementation of local mobility services in Austria by adopting a mixed-methods approach combining grounded theory and critical realism. In total, 15 narrative, semi-structured interviews were conducted, sampled by applying thematic, practical, and criterion sampling and using an analytical procedure of open, axial, and selective coding. Particular attention was paid to the influence of governance structures and related processes, the integration of user needs, and the topic of technology and its role in local mobility services. The results showed that for the success of local mobility services, in addition to the availability of and long-term commitment to funding, the initial phase of a project (e.g., the selection of project partners) and the deployment of collaborative and local participatory target-setting processes are extremely important. Further, the findings showed that the motivation and interest of all stakeholders involved in the projects can be regarded as driving forces for enhanced cooperation, dedication, and resilience throughout the project. In addition, developing and communicating needs-oriented mobility services should be emphasised. Although the analysis showed the importance of the deployment and hence the selection of certain types of technological solutions, it also highlighted the difficulties of governance processes related to choosing and implementing adequate technological solutions regarding cooperation and networking between key stakeholders in the projects.
