In search of an emancipatory politics of urban potentiality, commoning thus has the ability to become a collective ethos based on mutuality and equality rather than merely a relatively fair way of sharing urban infrastructures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Politics of Urban Potentiality\u003c\/em\u003e, the leading social and urban theorist Stavros Stavrides draws on a wide range of classic and historical thought on the urban question and social transformation. Drawing from research in Latin American urban movements, from activist participation in urban struggles in Greece, and citizen initiatives developed in Europe, this book expands the discussion on the potentialities of urban commoning to demonstrate how an emancipatory urban future may be achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850365227244,"sku":"9781350413948","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/22051763482668.jpg?v=1759084505"},{"product_id":"the-pyramid-and-the-common-by-professor-massimo-de-angelis-9781350541436","title":"The Pyramid and the Common","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow do we change the world?
