Co-creation as a framework for municipalities to engage with citizens towards green transition.

What is it about?

Citizen involvement plays an important role in many municipality or government attempts towards green transition. Recently, the notion of co-creation or co-production has gained importance as a way of conceptualizing and organizing citizen involvement. The current study examines how four municipality partners in Sweden and Denmark embark on a common project on citizen involvement and co-creation as an avenue to green transition. Analytically, the study takes a discourse approach, combining close readings of texts and talk with an interdiscursive and diachronic analysis.
