Acuto, M, Steenmans, K, Iwaszuk, E, Ortega-Garza, L. Informing urban governance? Boundary-spanning organisations and the ecosystem of urban data. Area. 2019; 51: 94– 103. https://doi.org/10.1111/area.12430

This paper offers a preliminary assessment of a sample of boundary-spanning organisations based across six case studies (Barcelona, Chicago, London, Medellin, Mexico City and Seoul) and across three types of BSOs: living labs, innovation districts and sector-oriented BSOs. Unpacking the shape and development of BSOs, and "placing" them in urban governance, we begin to sketch a preliminary agenda geared to offer a better appreciation of the "information ecosystem" underneath policy-making in cities. The paper is available online.
