Torange Khonsari shows how cultural practices can activate communities, creating neighbourhood-based commons systems that challenge conventional governance.\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on local experiences, Khonsari addresses pressing societal issues, from citizen apathy and institutional distrust, to the lack of awareness around creative practices that can transform political engagement. By repositioning the neighbourhood as a decentralized arena for decision-making, this book advocates for a commons\/public partnership model in place of the dominant private\/public paradigm.\u003cbr\u003eRich in theory and grounded in practice, \u003ci\u003eCommons and Public Partnership\u003c\/i\u003e blends insights from urbanism, public art, architecture, psychology, politics, anthropology, and sociology with practical design methodologies-offering a bold, interdisciplinary framework for rethinking civic life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Torange Khonsari\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350446319\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350446311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.00d","brand":"Torange Khonsari","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48444559655167,"sku":"9781350446311","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fe89ac29-f141-4380-af19-f3b4581c4001.jpg?v=1777213082","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/commons-and-public-partnership-torange-khonsari-9781350446311","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
