Urban Commons

Rethinking the City

Herausgeber: Borch, Christian; Kornberger, Martin

Beschreibung

This book rethinks the city by examining its various forms of collectivity - their atmospheres, modes of exclusion and self-organization, as well as how they are governed - on the basis of a critical discussion of the notion of urban commons. The idea of the commons has received surprisingly little attention in urban theory, given that the city may well be conceived as a shared resource. Consequently, the proposed book aims to rethink what a city might be by studying how the notion of the commons opens up new understandings of what urban collectivities are.
