How do metropolitan areas interact with innovation processes and knowledge management? How can technological innovations be experienced with the active participation of users? This work connects the process of co-construction of sociotechnical innovations with the experiencies retrieved in urban living labs. The first part of this work analyses the concepts of technological innovation related to the user and mantains that a certain technology’s producers and propagators are not the ones who inevitably get to know and decide its final uses: the users actually develop new uses and decide which uses will finally prevail. Technological innovation based on knowledge, transformed into services and goods by the intensive use of information and communications technologies (ICT), concentrates in metropolitan areas. In this work it is suggested that these areas’ development requires procedures of co-creation of technological and social innovations.
