Abstract [eng] In recent decades, a decline in youth participation has been widely docu-mented. Existing studies identify a lack of trust between youth and profes-sionals as a contributing factor. This paper presents empirical findings fromfour urban living labs – Vienna, Panevėžys, Oslo, and Rotterdam – where dif-ferent participatory approaches were tested ranging from artistic strategies toplacemaking and capability development. The findings suggest that trust is anemergent, relational, and processual outcome of participatory engagementitself, which in turn fosters further participation. The paper highlights theimportance of labs in shaping trust and the crucial role of intermediary actorswithin these spaces.
