Urban commons. Urban communities beyond the state and the market

Distrust in established political and social institutions is increasingly forcing people to turn to alternative models of public organization that reduce dependence on the market and the state. This collection focuses on the study of various relationship options within urban... communities that strive for political and social autonomy, refuse state patronage, and reformat public space in new ways. It concerns the specific "urban commons" - a concept that encompasses a multitude of life practices and grassroots forms of public organization implemented worldwide, allowing for a new perspective on the experience of urban everyday life.
