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, by addressing
a range of questions about urban diversity, urban governance, urban
belonging, urban sexuality, urban subcultures, urban emergencies,
and urban creativity; 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 an irreducibly
critical edge, as the notion of the commons delivers new insights
about how collective urban life is formed and governed. "
