However, comprehensive data-driven value creation opportunities, which are seamlessly connected to various needs in the everyday life of citizens or residents, are still largely untapped and unstudied. This article investigates value creation opportunities for holistic housing concepts with related ecosystems designed to combine the physical environment of residents along with a digital platform. The novelty of this study builds on a holistic understanding of value co-creation in housing, enabled by digital platforms at the ecosystem level. The empirical study focuses on a qualitative multi-case study of four holistic and resident-centric service concepts, which all include digital platforms. The main findings are concluded as follows: First, digital platforms enable various value creation opportunities in resident-centric housing concepts and related ecosystems. Second, exploring strategic choices regarding competitiveness, innovation, and growth revealed that digital platforms played various roles such as informative, supportive, integrative, or even embedded in novel housing as a service platform concepts, which call for totally new orchestration and business models across traditional industrial and ecosystem boundaries. Third, in light of the basic mechanisms for ensuring competitiveness and growth in data and a platform economy, we identify two main alternative strategic approaches. The findings serve both practitioners and researchers exploring opportunities of a platform economy, with a particular benefit for those in largely unstudied housing markets.10adigital platforms10ahousing10aplatform design10aplatform ecosystems10aS-D logic10avalue creation and capture1 aLappalainen, Inka1 aFederley, Maija  utimreview.ca/article/147301780nas a2200229   4500008004100000022001400041245009500055210006900150260004200219300001000261490000600271520111500277653000901392653001501401653001101416653001901427653001001446100001901456700002001475700001901495856003601514       2016                        eng d  a1927-032100aUrban Living Labs for Sustainability in Suburbs in Need of Modernization and Social Uplift0 aUrban Living Labs for Sustainability in Suburbs in Need of Moder  aOttawabTalent First Networkc01/2016  a27-340 v63 aA number of urban living labs have been set up in recent years, with the aim of developing innovation processes within a multi-stakeholder partnership in an urban context. Several urban living labs focus on sustainable development, which is a visible and urgent issue in less valued suburbs in need of modernization and social uplift. We argue that, when applying the living labs approach in the context of sustainable development in suburbs, the primary focus should be society’s collective goals, as expressed through municipalities and users. The aim of this article is to show examples of how urban living labs can be applied in less valued suburbs in order to contribute to sustainability based on societal goals. We build on analyses from the research project SubUrbanLab, where urban living labs were set up in Alby and Peltosaari, two suburban areas in Sweden and Finland, respectively. We draw lessons regarding how to use urban living labs for sustainable development in order to create favourable conditions for ongoing engagement with the municipality and users towards long-term sustainability. 10acity10aLiving lab10asuburb10asustainability10aurban1 aBuhr, Katarina1 aFederley, Maija1 aKarlsson, Anja  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/958
