{"product_id":"housing-as-commons-stavros-stavrides-9781786999986","title":"Housing as Commons: Housing Alternatives as Response to the Current Urban Crisis","description":"Experiences of the struggle for housing, ignited by the lack of social and affordable housing, have led to the establishing of shared and self-managed housing areas. 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\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\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stavros Stavrides\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786999986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786999986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\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 Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.75d","brand":"Stavros Stavrides","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44365361021183,"sku":"9781786999986","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_054b631f-eec2-40d9-aafb-ac7078487794.jpg?v=1697058092","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/housing-as-commons-stavros-stavrides-9781786999986","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
