Urban commons

Urban commons are shared resources within cities that local communities manage and use collectively, such as parks, public squares, community gardens, and local infrastructure like bike paths or open markets. Unlike private ownership, these spaces are accessible to all and are maintained through communal effort or agreements. They promote social interaction, environmental sustainability, and inclusivity by providing shared spaces that benefit everyone, fostering a sense of community ownership and responsibility. Urban commons exemplify collaborative management of public resources, balancing individual needs with collective well-being.
