A Relational Approach to Social Infrastructures for Socially Just Climate Adaptation
Cities play a central role in contemporary climate change debates, both because of their contribution to greenhouse gas emissions and because they are sites where climate impacts disproportionately affect vulnerable populations. Social infrastructures, open‐access fixed points such as libraries and parks, are increasingly recognised as crucial for urban resilience, providing shelter and fostering social bonds. Nevertheless, despite the common ass…
Claimed spaces of participation and their role in strengthening community resilience and resistance
Claimed spaces of participation can enable collective action to address complex urban challenges societies are facing. In this article, we elaborate on the extent to which these spaces foster community resilience while also mobilizing resistance. Taking into account different dimensions of community resilience, we analyze how these are strengthened through claimed spaces and how this impact relates to resistance. Instead of regarding community re…

Social infrastructure in diverse and unequal cities
Metropolitan geographies of urban commons
Towards Democratisation of Public Administration
This paper looks at the relational dimension of public-commons partnerships, examining its role in shaping novel practices in public administration (PA). Focusing on the role of civic actors and public officials who support the emergence and development of public-commons partnerships, we aim to contribute to Bollier and Helfrich’s conceptualisation of public-commons partnerships as long-term agreements based on cooperation between state actors an…
Urban commons and the local state
Urban commons have emerged within the latest mobilization cycle, and have developed forms of everyday politics. Marxist and social movement scholars tend to see the urban commons/local state interactions that assemble commons’ material infrastructure as the prelude to commons being co-opted. Governance scholars uphold that these interactions can bring political benefits to the commons. By bridging these two perspectives, this article analyses urb…
Governmentality, the Local State, and the Commons
This article deploys the Foucauldian concept of governmentality to study the political tensions that may unfold when commons are enacted through hybrid institutional configurations. We focus on civic management facilities (CMFs) that are located in the city of Barcelona. These are facilities owned by Barcelona City Council which, responding to organised citizens’ demands, are transferred to them so that they can develop their own transformative p…

La desobediencia civil en la campaña La Obra Social de la PAH

A través del análisis de entrevistas semi-estructuradas, los resultados muestran cómo los interlocutores co…
Exploring the Social and Solidarity Economy Sector in Greece, Spain, and Switzerland in Times of Crisis
