The research will focus on the potential of pilot projects (urban experiments) to support the organizational and social learning of the actors involved and the ability to capture and mediate this learning. The project will evaluate several selected projects with regard to how the individual experience of the actors involved and the official outputs of the project differ and to what extent the projects were of practical benefit to the involved cities The aim of the project is to map the experiences of actors of urban innovation projects that used pilot projects and urban experimenters. Emphasis is placed on how these projects support organizational learning within the organizations involved what role they can play in understanding the organizational, procedural and social aspects of urban innovations. The research is a partial part of the research carried out within the dissertation work of Tomáš Vácha under the guidance of Jiří Plos, which also includes an analysis of the Czech experience with pilot projects. The project will help gain a valuable overview of the effectiveness and good and bad practices in the use of urban experiments and support their effective use in the future. An additional goal is to support the ongoing cooperation with the University of Manchester and to develop a common research topic "Process learning" - process learning is a concept that we are currently developing in collaboration with the team of Prof. James Evans and which focuses on the description of the learning process through direct or indirect involvement in an urban experiment with an emphasis on gaining knowledge about the processes and organizational changes associated with the process of innovation in a particular area of how the city works.

The project is an integral part of a doctoral research with the working title How is the value of Czech listed urban heritage areas related to the character of urban structure and morphology of their tangible environment? The doctoral research aims to evaluate the potential and limits of current urban morphology approaches to the description of valuable characteristics of historic urban environments. The research consists of two parallel lines: 1. The practical development of morphometric analyses of historical urban environment in GIS, which follows the methods and databases of a previous research project NAKI II DG16P02R025 (Origins and attributes of heritage values of historic towns of the Czech Republic), and is also related to the project Architectural-urban analysis of the Prague Conservation Area (at the Prague Institute of Planning and Development); 2. Archival research of the procedures of historic urban environments evaluations on a sample of town conservation areas documentations worked out since 1950 until the present. The financial support will be used for a presentation of the working procedure and results of morphometric analyses at an international conference (ISUF 2021 - Glasgow) and for the archival research of undigitized or online inaccessible documentations of town conservation areas located in regional offices of the National Heritage Institute and municipal archives of town planning.
