In this paper, we present 'Urban Transition Labs' (UTL) as settings in which real life trajectories of sustainable development in cities are deployed and at the same time carefully observed; in a co-creative collaboration between actors and researchers (transdisciplinary research).
Highly realistic human patient simulators have been used as surrogates for real life patients in the development of the FACT and in this study to evaluate the tool.
