This article illustrates how open innovation can be applied to understand renewal processes in complex sectors of society that involve many public, private and collective actors. The article discusses how a city renewal project can be conceptualized as ‘open city innovation'. A natural experiment of a process of “open city innovation”, involving a number of private and public actors is presented. Findings suggest that attractive and capital rich urban environments can be successfully created through open city innovation facilitated by 1) a clear focus of private actors on long-term benefits of the city development project, and 2) public organisational set-ups securing involvement of many actors, interactions and knowledge distribution among them. Furthermore, the article illustrates how the “natural experiment” as research method is a promising approach for analyzing complex city renewal projects.
