Deliverable 1.1 Stakeholder analysis regarding street transformations

The primary objective of this stakeholder analysis is to identify key stakeholders involved in 
street transformation processes and to develop a common understanding of their interests, 
impacts, concerns, and interactions during these interventions. Additionally, the aim is to 
support the development of digital and analogue tools that facilitate consensus-building in 
the co-creation process, adaptable to the local contexts of each living lab.
The methodology employed for the analysis included developing a stakeholder shortlist for 
each living lab, followed by a media content analysis covering the four cities and a series of 
semi-structured interviews with key project stakeholders identified in the previous steps. 
These insights were used to identify stakeholders' roles, including their interests and impact 
on street intervention; their power and influence over the decision-making process; their 
relationships, including potential conflicts and cooperation among the identified groups; and
their belief in achieving consensus on the final transformation.
As a result of this analysis, stakeholders were classified into five broad categories: public 
authorities, public institutions, local businesses, civic organizations, and inhabitants. The 
diverse range of stakeholders reflected a wide variety of interests, concerns, and degrees of 
power and influence per stakeholder group. Public authorities emerge as crucial players due 
to their significant influence on decision-making processes and project outcomes. However, 
conflictual relationships may arise between public entities, local businesses, and inhabitants 
when effective widespread communication and participatory processes are lacking. Civic 
organizations can play a significant role in bridging public authorities with a broader audience.
