The idea of the commons has received surprisingly little attention in urban theory, although the city may well be conceived as a shared resource. \u003ci\u003eUrban Commons: Rethinking the City\u003c\/i\u003e offers an attempt to reconsider what a city might be by studying how the notion of the commons opens up new understandings of urban collectivities, addressing a range of questions about urban diversity, urban governance, urban belonging, urban sexuality, urban subcultures, and urban poverty; but also by discussing in more methodological terms how one might study the urban commons. In these respects, the rethinking of the city undertaken in this book has a critical dimension, as the notion of the commons delivers new insights about how collective urban life is formed and governed. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45236956135575,"sku":"9781138017245","price":14551.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138017245.webp?v=1769215155","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/urban-commons-rethinking-the-city-9781138017245","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
