Panel Discussion
Renegotiating the Urban Commons: as a reaction to the global economic crisis, new urban initiatives and strategies have emerged around European cities as alternative ways to envision urban planning development. Highly innovative concepts for communities founded on urban resilience cycles are being built from the ground up. How does civic empowerment of this kind shape the new urban commons? From the political to the final product: what is the limit to community driven design and how does it work?
