Participatory modelling allows to bring stakeholders together, enhance knowledge and understanding of a system, and identify the impacts of interventions to a given problem. This paper uses an interdisciplinary and systems approach to investigate a complex urban problem, using a participatory System Dynamics modelling process as an approach to facilitate learning and co-produce knowledge on the factors influencing the use of urban natural space. Stakeholders used a Systems Dynamics model and interface, as a tool to collectively identify pathways for improving the use of space and simulating their impacts. Under the lens of knowledge co-production, the paper reflects how such mechanisms can lead to the co-production of knowledge and social learning. The findings also contribute to identify ways of increasing the value of urban natural space focusing on urban areas undergoing physical and social transformation, such as the Thamesmead case study, London, UK. date: 2024-02-27 date_type: published publisher: Elsevier BV official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.120110 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2228297 doi: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.120110 lyricists_name: Davies, Michael lyricists_name: Davan Wetton, Joanna lyricists_name: Pluchinotta, Irene lyricists_id: MDAVI86 lyricists_id: HALEX57 lyricists_id: IPLUC92 actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Journal of Environmental Management volume: 353 article_number: 120110 citation: Pluchinotta, Irene; Zhou, Ke; Moore, Gemma; Salvia, Giuseppe; Belesova, Kristine; Mohajeri, Nahid; Hale, Joanna; ...
