In such a context, it becomes crucially important to re-think the need to define common urban worlds \"from below\". Here, Penny Travlou and Stavros Stavridis trace contemporary practices of urban commoning through which people re-define housing economies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Connecting to a rich literature on the importance of commons and of practices of commoning for the creation of emancipated societies, the authors discuss whether housing struggles and co-habitation experiences may contribute in crucial ways to the development of a commoning culture. The authors explore a variety of urban contexts through global case studies from across the Global North and South, in search of concrete examples that illustrate the potentialities of urban commoning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stavros Stavrides\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786999978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786999979\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 1.10d","brand":"Stavros Stavrides","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073255403775,"sku":"9781786999979","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ce4a6dd1-10dd-488c-a4aa-a83fc1b29e25.jpg?v=1685446744","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/housing-as-commons-stavros-stavrides-9781786999979","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
