Today, cities are being intensively reshaped by unexpected
dynamics. The rise and growth of the digital economy have
fundamentally changed the relationship between the urban fabric and
its resident community, overcoming the conventional hierarchy based
on production priorities. Moreover, contemporary society discovers
new labour conditions and ways of satisfying needs and desires by
developing new synergies and links. This book examines cultural and
urban commons from a multidisciplinary perspective. Economists,
architects, urban planners, sociologists, designers, political
scientists, and artists explore the impact and implications of
cultural commons on urban change. The contributions discuss both
cases of successful urban participation and cases of strong social
conflict, while also addressing a host of institutional
contradictions and dilemmas. The first part of the book examines
urban commons in response to institutional constraints from a
theoretical point of view. The second and third parts apply the
theories to case studies and discuss various practices of
sustainable planning and re-appropriation in the urban context. In
closing, the fourth part develops a new urban agenda as artists
imagine it. This book will appeal to scholars interested in the
social, economic and institutional implications of cultural and
urban commons, and provide useful insights and tools to help local
governments and policymakers manage social, cultural and economic
change.

Emerging forms of alternative economic frameworks are changing the
structure of society, redefining the relationship between centre
and periphery, and the social dynamics in the urban fabric. In this
context, the arts can play a crucial role in formulating a concept
of complex and plural citizenship: This economic, social and
cultural paradigm has the potential to overcome the conventional
isolation of the arts and culture in ivory towers, and thereby to
gradually make the urban fabric more fertile. This volume faces
such sensitive issues by collating contributions from various
disciplines: Economists, sociologists, urbanists, architects and
creative artists offer a broad and deep assessment of urban
dynamics and their visions for the years to come.
