Abstract

The aim of this article is to discussone of the practical ways in which the perspective of interactive governance can be applied to managing the sphere of public policy. It focuses on the city lab idea understood asa platform for generating innovationthrough the interaction of public authorities witha variety of stakeholders. The article begins with the presentation of the essence of interactive governance and the approaches to the idea adopted in the literature. Next, the idea of the city lab platformis considered in the context of its key operating principles. Drawing on three basic models of public management (i.e. ideal bureaucracy, new public management and public governance), and the concept of the neo-Weberian state, which has been gaining popularity in recent years, the authors identify and analyse the coordination mechanism used in the city lab. Conclusions offer a summary of the main aspects of the interactive perspective on generating innovation in urban areas.
