Understanding the Urban Commons: Economics and Governance

Abstract

"The book is addressed to anybody researching urban and regional studies. Still, the interdisciplinary character of this issue makes it useful for representatives of economic and management sciences, and for people dealing with social and economic geography, spatial management, architecture, urban planning and urban sociology. It can be hoped that the book will fulfil utilitarian objectives, including disseminating the economics of urban commons among people who take actions concerning the common goods in cities, as well as local authorities looking for the best solutions within more participative management of shared urban resources and implementing urban policies that promote social inclusion and sustainable development."
