长滩协作实验室进入收官阶段：三大试点把居民点子变成城市服务
加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县长滩市11月3日宣布，该市「长滩协作实验室」（LB Co-Lab）第二期项目进入最后阶段。这项由市技术与创新局（TID）运营的社区驱动型公民科技计划，把居民的生活经验与市府员工的专业能力结合起来，为本地难题共同设计解决方案，为2028年奥运会与残奥会留下一份持久的城市遗产。
第二期项目始于2025年春季，12名长滩居民被选为「驻地创新者」，先从自身经验出发找出可落地的城市议题：维护公共空间、改善城市服务获取、保障商业走廊安全。随后市府向外部伙伴与本地组织征集方案，共收到57份提案，比上一期增长200%，其中九个入围方案在去年11月的展示日向公众汇报。今年1月，市府选定三家本地组织各牵头一个为期12个月的试点，每个试点获得7.5万美元种子资金。
三个试点正在推进：其一，本地传播机构 Embers 与 Oak Storyworks 已在三个地点安装太阳能服务亭，提供免费充电口与双语的城市资源信息，帮助有语言或技术障碍的居民获取服务；其二，Orion Labs 将于11月开始测试一套用传感器与智能照明监测商业走廊安全、提升夜间可见度的系统，发现问题时通知市府与参与商家；其三，BeeSpace 在夏季把闲置地块改造成永续农业与社区蜂场模式的传粉昆虫栖息地，由居民担任照护者、地主负责管理。
市府表示，三个试点将持续至2027年春季，届时技术与创新局将与合作部门评估成效并决定下一步。LB Co-Lab 是长滩2021年设立的智慧城市倡议的一部分，资金来自市创新基金与长滩社区基金会的 Knight 基金会捐赠建议基金。

Long Beach Co-Lab Enters Final Phase as Three Pilots Turn Resident Ideas Into City Services
The City of Long Beach, in Los Angeles County, California, announced on November 3 that it is moving forward with the final phase of the second round of its Long Beach Collaboratory (LB Co-Lab) program. Run by the city's Technology and Innovation Department (TID), the community-driven civic technology initiative combines residents' lived experience with city staff expertise to co-design solutions to local challenges, building a lasting legacy ahead of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The second cohort began in spring 2025, when twelve Long Beach community members were selected as Innovators in Residence to identify actionable issues from their own experience: maintaining public spaces, improving access to city services and securing commercial corridors. The city then called on external partners and local organizations to submit proposed solutions and received 57 proposals — a 200 percent increase from the previous cohort — of which nine finalists presented at Demo Day last November. In January, the city selected three local organizations to lead 12-month pilot projects, each receiving $75,000 in seed funding.
The three pilots are now under way. Embers and Oak Storyworks have installed solar-powered kiosks in three locations with free charging ports and bilingual content about city resources, lowering barriers for residents facing language or technology obstacles. Orion Labs will begin testing in November a system that uses sensors and smart lighting to detect safety concerns and improve visibility along commercial corridors, alerting city staff and participating businesses. And BeeSpace has turned vacant or underused lots into pollinator habitats using a permaculture and community beehive model, with residents as stewards and lot owners overseeing the property.
The city said the projects will continue through spring 2027, when TID and partnering departments will evaluate the pilots and determine next steps. LB Co-Lab is part of the Long Beach Smart City Initiative, established in 2021, and is funded by the city's Innovation Fund and a grant from the Long Beach Community Foundation's Knight Foundation donor-advised fund.
