Накратко на български

Моделите за съвместно управление на градски ресурси, като обществени сгради и паркове, се анализират в Барселона, Болоня и Брюксел. Това помага да се разбере как прехвърлянето на властта към гражданите влияе върху демокрацията и управлението на европейските градове.

A new frontier in EU urban policy-making: commons-inspired co-production arrangements

A new trend is emerging in EU urban policymaking: the adoption of co-production arrangements to support the emergence and development of urban commons. Some pioneering cases stand out, such as the Urban Commons Regulation in Bologna (2014), the Commons Transition Plan in Ghent (2017) and the Citizen Assets Programme in Barcelona (2017). These cities have been joined by others that have either adopted similar arrangements, such as Turin (2016), Madrid (2018) and Milan (2019), or are currently considering them, such as Grenoble and Brussels. Broadly speaking, these arrangements, also referred to as public-common partnerships in recent literature, aim to redistribute decision-making power to citizens over services and resources considered essential for the collective well-being of cities (e.g. public buildings and spaces, energy and water utilities) by promoting community self-management. COMMONCITY will comparatively analyse the models, challenges and democratic implications of recently adopted co-production arrangements in support of urban commons in three EU cities: Barcelona, Bologna and Brussels. The research will provide unique empirical data on the diversity, effective functioning and democratising effects of these arrangements. This data will feed into the policymaking of EU cities in line with the UN SDGs (11 and 16), the EU 2019-2024 policy priorities and the EU Leipzig Charter. It will be carried out with the Urban Studies Institute (USI) of the University of Antwerp (UAntwerp), where the researcher will be embedded in the Research Centre of Environmental and Social Change (CRESC). The researcher will also undertake a non-academic secondment to the Fondazione per l'Innovazione Urbana (FIU) in Bologna.

Цел на проекта

A new tendency is on the rise in EU urban policy-making: adopting Co-production Arrangements inspired by the paradigm of the Commons (CAC). Some pioneering cases stand out, such as the Urban Commons Regulation in Bologna (2014), the Commons Transition Plan in Ghent (2017) and the Citizen Assets Programme in Barcelona (2017). These cities have been joined by others that either have adopted similar arrangements or are currently considering adopting them. By and large, these arrangements aim to redistribute decision-making power to citizens over services and resources that are considered as essential for urban collective wellbeing (e.g. public buildings and spaces, energy and water utilities) by fostering community self-management. Preliminary and applied research on these arrangements has been carried out, mostly based on single case study analyses. However, scientific, in-depth and comparative knowledge on CAC is still scarce. By adopting an urban epistemology to the traditional state-centred political science field, COMMONCITY will produce key, useful and timely knowledge on CAC. It will comparatively analyse the i) policy models, ii) political, social and administrative challenges, iii) impact on urban democracy of recently adopted CAC in the three EU pioneering cities: Barcelona, Bologna and Ghent. By adopting a co-production-oriented approach to data collection and analysis that will foster citizen science, it will provide unique empirical data on the varieties, effective functioning and democratising effect of these arrangements. The results of COMMONCITY will contribute to the scientific debate in the broad urban study field and, specifically, in urban democracy, urban governance, urban policy-making and urban participation. It will also provide policy recommendations to various levels of government, in order to foster the adoption of CAC and improve the functioning and democratic impact of existing and under-adoption ones.
